You're a day ahead of yourself, it's only the 4th Also registration opens at noon, so teams would have had only 52 minutes to register when you posted your message. If FIRST was having DB problems, it certainly wouldn't have been unlikely for teams to not be showing up.

Also, I do not beleive that 90 something spaces are held for teams qualifying this year. That would give a nationals of only 188 teams. Rather, I expect that those spots are in addition to the ones reserved for winners, which would give a nationas around 300 teams, which is much more in line with previous years.
Oops - and yesterday was my mom's birthday too. Don't tell her I messed up on the date.

I thought when they originally announced the nationals in Atlanta they talked about cutting way down on the number of teams (like 210 or 270), but the press release says 300.

As far as the 52 minutes, I bet every tier 1 team that wants to grab a spot will be online in 52 seconds whatever day that happens - in 52 minutes there won't be any left.
