Noon Tuesday: Registration overload! Please wait to register

Dear Team Iowa Members,

I am back from my conference and vacation that took me out of the office the past two weeks. With that said, Bruce and I are trying to wade through the Registration information for the U. S. Transplant Games that we are getting from our national office.

The following message was just received about an hour ago.


Dear Managers,

The registration website went live this morning at 10:00 EST. Since then the site has been flooded with attempts to register. Unfortunately, the site was overloaded and could not handle all of the participants at once. The overload caused some glitches to the website and several people received various error messages. Our website programmers were made aware of the problems and have worked to correct them. At the time that I am writing this email the site is now functioning properly and we already have several participants registered! If you or your team members should experience any additional challenges while registering please direct them to call 866.TX.GAMES. We send our heartfelt apologies for any inconvenience this may have caused.

Warm regards,

The Transplant Games Department


PLEASE, PLEASE wait to register until you receive further information from Bruce Hoffmaster and myself. We are trying to get the code # for the blocking of rooms. We will be sending out additional information today as it becomes available. There is no need to try to register right now – the site is overloaded and there are a multitude of problems. Since the above message was sent out by national, I have seen at least three emails from other affiliates outlining registration glitches.

I NEED TO ASK FOR YOUR HELP!

PLEASE DO NOT TRY TO REGISTER UNTIL YOU RECEIVE ADDITIONAL INFORMATION FROM US! We appreciate your cooperation.

PLEASE wait for our directions.

Thanks, Diane
