Eden/Strathtyrum tournaments at St Andrews

[Deleted member 17920]

You never know Glyn, you don't know how many their system can process at once.

About 5 people judging by how slow it was

Eden entry has a message up saying entry to be re-scheduled as their site crashed again today, so I'm guessing you will have to try again.

Awesome, So I will have to sit refreshing for 20 mins again, what a waste of a lunch hour that was

It's worth it if you get in Glyn :thup:

Just had another email saying the Strath entry is going to be rescheduled too, no new date yet though.

It seems no-one who tried to enter today is getting in - another message stating all entires received today are cancelled.

It has 8th Feb (2moro) on the website but no idea if that will go ahead or not.

Nope, that's also been rescheduled.

Clearly they have some server issues.

I know, I was only hoping by putting an application in, the tournament looks fantastic, the 1st 120 spots are my only hope

Yeah, the message on their site has been updated again.

It's quite an ask to build a website that has reasonably steady traffic all year round but goes absolutely nuts just a few times a year. Difficult to justify the significant additional costs to cope with the huge spikes.

Really not sure what's gone wrong this year, no issues in the previous years that I've entered.

Gordon,

Do you normally get in via the 1st 120 places or via the ballot?

 

[louise_a]

I think Gordon is low enough not to have to rely on the ballot.

Hi - I have just tried to enter the tournament for 2017; I got my entry in at 1.07 yesterday (I got on bang on 1pm but it took ages to load), but later they put on the website that the server crashed! Presumably due to an overload from people entering. I'll try again when at the new date of uploading the entry form. This would be might first time playing in it, it looks like a great event.

New date for the Strath is 20th February so I guess the Eden will be the 21st

yes, got the email today from them.

Is the closing date still 27th? I'm toying with entering but not sure I'll have enough holidays... shame you need to commit so far in advance.

Closing date is now 6th March.

Need to have a right good think about which events to play this year. Have been thinking about some scratch events down south but holidays are tight.

 

[louise_a]

Everything seems ok today and my entry is in, fingers crossed I was quick enough.
