"Announcing to all amateur cyclists including junior, master, and elite categories: Due to the overwhelming interest in national championship events, we are instituting a new registration procedure. Call ups on the day of the event will still be in order of registration; however, registration will open on an unannounced day and at an unannounced time. It could be tomorrow for 2010 road nationals or maybe it will be one month and 6 days prior to the event. This will ensure that the registration website is not overwhelmed with all participants trying to register at once, and will also add a bit of fun and competition to the whole procedure. We are all about fun. We have not decided yet, but we may open different categories at different dates and times, of course, still unannounced. We sincerely hope that this works better than our current procedure and allows us to serve our membership in an efficient manner."

1000 people rushing your server means you need to up your bandwidth - but they knew it was coming.

yeah, especially out east, where it's getting a little late! Seems like the same thing happened 2 or 3 years ago with SBO. It's hardly rocket science these days!

I got the same page. Now it's just hanging. Lots of pissed off people tonight.
