The problem is this isn't unheard of FIRST. It's often been a problem with demand and the system has come back up at some unannounced later time during the day. Without official announcement of a postponement there is no way to know if we should continue with our lives or stay glued to the screen waiting for something to change. Assuming the former for some teams means losing out on their preferred event or more money spent on travel or not being able to do two+ events at all.
