I'm guessing someone, in an area without enough events, (California, New York) is trying to manipulate the system.

Please post your server problems in this thread, not in the FIRST Registration thread.

My reaction trying to login to the servers, this morning.

My team is in Upstate NY, they pushed us out of New England 4 years ago, we only have 5 regionals in the state, two of which are on the same weekend and the other 3 fill up very quickly as they are downstate regionals. This is so incredibly frustrating.

I feel you, but don't be so quick to point the finger. This may not be a FIRST local problem. There might be other forces at play.

I am able to login and look at my events now.
P.S.
Even though it crashed after I hit Register, the system does has us listed for the SBPLI Regional (capacity presently listed as 6 for LI).

To give incentive to states to move to districts. Specifically Minnesota, Texas, and California.



Hoping that FIRST figures the issues out quickly and gives a fair solution to all teams in the regional system.

As time goes on our fustration level here is rising as well... Both our lead mentors are on lunch break now, but only until 1:20p ET. After that they have classes to teach until 3pm+

3044 experience is the same as 4930 except there was a registration button. but then the great second crash happened.

I did just get the page to reload and the event screen popped up showing we are registered.

go refresh and try again!!!

also, 4930 are you guys coming to our off season event on november 5th??

[aciarniello]

My dashboard is back up and running, I'm still showing as registered for GPR. Wonder if that registration will stand.

[cwade]

I was able to register right away and did receive a confirmation email from First. I am assuming some other people did get through before it crashed again???

I just registered. It was painfully slow, but we got into Midwest.

[Tyler Olds]

Dashboard is loading but really slow. I would give it another shot if you haven't.

I finally got in and received the confirmation for St. Louis about 11:30.

Finally... now onto prepare for Hurricane Matthew.
