John, I complained about their posting a 12:00 time, was that AM or PM? They needed to go 12:01 AM to be clearer, but you're right. The servers never worked at those times. Hope this is better.
I registered for last year, but bailed out at the last minute. No refund, so I imagine there wasn't much of a waiting list. Is the program anything special this year? Who is planning on attending?
