And so the madness shall begin...
I feel bad for those poor poor servers.

But, I do look forward to seeing some answers to some questions that we seem to be facing this year.

Might be helpful for some people haha

Here's a plea: Don't go crazy with it! If you have questions, read through and search through the manual multiple times before posting it to the Q&A system. Be sure to include all relevant rule numbers, and if it's specific wording clarification you want, be a nice guy/girl and copy in the text of the rule. Also, bolding italics, and capitals, use them to your advantage, so your question is clear and concise not only to Dave, Aidan, Dean, Woodie and company, but also to your peers who will consult these readings to clarify their own. Also, as they pile up, be sure to have someone on your team keep on track of them. Don't waste your time and their time, and the time of some other team looking for an answer by asking a question which has already been asked.

Thanks!

Yea, that too.

It will not be live until tomorrow.

Has anybody else found that the Q&A user name and password provided through TIMS doesn't actually work? This happened to us last year too, but we never ended up needing it. Entering our contact's e-mail address into the password recovery form doesn't seem to work either. Suggestions?

<sigh> PLEASE read the e-mail blast on this subject first. As is clearly indicated there, the Q&A system will not be live until noon on Wednesday. So, no, your username and password provided through TIMS will not actually work. At least - not yet.

Okay, it is now quite a bit past noon, and much like last year, my TIMS-provided login info continues not to work. Is this just me? If the password recovery thing doesn't work, who am I supposed to contact?

[Mark McLeod]

Our account works, it's actually the same as last year's, password included, so it's a continuation of your non-working account from last year.

I'd start with a message to frcteams@usfirst.org
or use "Contact Us" on the forums at http://www.usfirst.org/itrequest.aspx

Same here...
