[FRC BLOG] The Great Registration System Crash of 2016

[Jardanium]

It was said that this event caused periods known as the Great Compression and STEAM Bowl to follow...

In all seriousness, I personally appreciate the continued transparency initiative from Frank and the rest of FIRST HQ. It's nice to be in the loop about these things!

I can't wait to find out exactly what the problem was. I'm really curious what caused it to crash before any teams where even registered.

We probably won't hear a time for that until they've remedied the problem. No sense in setting a deadline you can't meet. Thank you Frank for addressing the crash before the close of the day.

I suspected it was more than just load. If teams are anything like me, they didn't just log on at precisely 12pm- they were refreshing the page a few minutes beforehand.

The system crashed right when it should have gone live, so I am thinking something with activating registration revealed a different problem.

Yes, thank you Frank for speaking to this directly.
