Webmasters 5 cent's:
Well this is what I call interest for the EUDC. This is what I thought is going to happen in the first minute after the registration, and it probably did. I'm sorry for all the teams that did not manage to register because we were in the same position. This is probably going to createa buzz at the council I believe, but this time I'm not going to be there (Democracy is a b****).
Dear
debaters!
Today,
when we opened the registeration we got 12 applications in 45 seconds from 13:00:00
GMT onwards. Six of these applications were in the same second 13:01:1! Crazy!
As
we promised, we took in 4 first registrations and 1 first adjudicator
registration, which happened to be an n-1 adjudicator.
The
teams that got in with the latest registration time of 13:01:16:
Soton A
Aberdeen A
Aberdeen B
METU A
The
adjudicator that got in with the latest registration time of 13:01:1
Iain O’Neil (Aberdeen)
Congratulations
to the teams and their quick fingers!
Unfortunately
the teams that didn’t make it and were left out by 2 seconds (!) are:
Koc A
Koc B
Left
out by 3 seconds are:
Bilkent A
Bilkent B
UCL A
Left
out by 4 seconds are:
BBU A
DC-FOS B
There
were 2 adjudicators that were left out by 2 seconds and 1 adjudicator by 4
seconds.
Just
a reminder that there is no waiting list created of these teams or adjudicators
and they are cancelled from the registration file.
We’re
sorry for the loophole in the system, which accepted more applications than
there were places available! I hope you understand, that we were unable to
anticipate applications being submitted within the same microsecond. The rest
of the system has been restored and you can check your registration status.
