And this isn't a new problem, HQ has been dealing with this for years. Registration used to have problems years ago and they worked through them. FIRST Choice used to have problems and they worked throw those as well. Even now they have testing sessions and things to make sure their servers were ready for that. They have done much better in the past and this is clearly a step backwards, we aren't expecting them to be perfect but they could also provide far better service to their customers and not wait 45 mins before making any public update.
