When did the Dwite server become available yesterday? I can see that there were some submissions made? My team hung around until about 3:30pm, but then thought there was the DDoS problem again? Did the DDoS attack continue throughout the contest?

Actually, the website came back at around 3:35, and was fine till the end of the contest. So that's why the fastest submission only scored 141 (which is about 20 minutes after the contest is supposed to start, 3:15 PM).

I have a feeling you weren't the only team, which is a shame. From my limited experience, it seems like there's normally 80+ teams competing, but only 50 or so submitted this time around.

I think the DDoS had something to do with it...maybe people figured that something might happen again? Or that was merely inconvenient for people (as near the end of the year, come people have summatives, etc...).
