Hopefully this is just a case of procrastination and they'll register in the next few hours, as they're almost too good not to go.

It's 8:47 PM here, and the website says that application are no longer being accepted?

I thought the process would close right before midnight....

I wonder what time zone they were referring to...if it's any in the U.S., it should still be open.

not sure why it closed early - it is open now.

The website said EST, and it looks like it's just been reopened. So it must have been a small mistake, not a problem anymore. Thank you, Chris!

...Happy Birthday Hallry!

eek, I hope ours went through. It let me submit and showed the confirmation around 5pm. Would there be reason to resubmit?

Thank you!

Best of luck 100% of rookies* in IRI elims last year won the whole enchilada, so it's a pretty good record having rookies around!


*also known as team 4334. 2056 did it in 2007, too.

It's telling me they aren't accepting submissions and I'm slightly panicking! Anyone having a similar problem or know how to fix it?!?

It's Chairman's submission/first day of event registation/FIRST Choice opening/(insert qualm on quality of usfirst.org's servers here) all over again!

Yep, it looks like it got closed again. Just for the record in case this problem isn't fixed soon, team 3958 just tried to submit.

Maybe someday I will learn not to procrastinate on these things...

Other than trying a different browser or something, not so much. It might have closed early again on accident. Just spitballing, but you might email it to pc@indianaroboticsinvitational.org and just explain you can't get through (if you can't fix it, obviously).
