Here's the thing though. NOBODY is getting in at this point, so we're all on even ground. They'll either fix it or reschedule registration (unusual, but it has happened). Just keep swimming!
While we're all waiting for IT to get it's poop in a group....
Friendly reminders for any of the new-to-registering friends:
-It is common and normal for your countdown to start at "over and hour" and then drop very quickly once it starts counting down
-It is common and normal for your countdown to inexplicably go back UP at some point
-The waiting room page will update with sell-out times as things sell out
-Things CAN sell out while you are completing your registration
-A common "glitch" where you can't check out (the button won't "light up") can often be remedied by changing your shirt size (which you can then go back in and change later)
