initial regional registration

[Andy Baker]

Dibs on a spot at Boilermaker!

heh

I can't get in either. I got in ahead of time, waited for noon to come, refreshed my screen and was immediately booted out. I like Travis' idea of everyone taking a 1-2 hour break from TIMS. That way, the server won't be down and I can register! mwuuuhahahaha.

Got in but still no button to register 1:10 PM EST. I'm logging off.

[Beth Sweet]

I can't register either. One more refresh then I'm logging out. Please don't take all the Detroit spots, my kids have Spring Breaks on the other regionals!!!

From the login page:
RESPONSE TIME CURRENTLY SLOWER THAN ANTICIPATED

Due to heavy volume, our system is currently experiencing slow response times. We sincerely apologize for the delays and are currently working to improve the situation. In the meantime, if you experience delays we suggest you return in a few hours. Thank you for your patience and understanding.

I finally got an ADD button, then it locked up again

[Derek Bessette]

The ADD > link has just appeared beside the events section. I am currently trying to get through the registration process. It is very slow and I am getting errors.

I'll post again if I get all the way through.

Closer....closer...

Let's just register on CD - we know CD works! :-/

Dibs on GLR

[dubious elise]

I am so close I can smell the Milwaukee Regional!

I'll post again if this actually goes through, I'm on the logon verification page right now.

Edit: ah, cruel irony. this is my 269th post...

Should we declare them the NJ winner? Just in case no others manage to get in?

Ooo!!! A new trophy category
-- FIRST to register ---

We can have both a Regional and Championship award

[Derek Bessette]

Team 1114 is registered for the Great Lakes Regional. Team 1503 is close to being registered as well.

I think it is safe to say that the TIMS system is now working...very slowly!

Good luck!

[Derek Bessette]

A word of advice. If you get into the system and you are part way through registration and you get an error message. Try to refresh a few times before starting over. It worked for me.

[Rich Kressly]

good...it's moving... here's the official info from FIRST:

Team 322 is registered for Great Lakes Regional as of a few minutes ago. Glad to see I'm not the only one having problems. I was starting to think it was an internal issue with the network where I work.

See everyone in 2006!! I can't wait!
