Couldn't race, website down

Situation is still ongoing. It's Microsoft Azure (our new cloud host) they are having issues with their Western Europe datacentres (where we are located). I am very disappointed at the length and timing of this. It was offline for almost 2.5 hours in peak times, very disappointing.

We are already brainstorming ways we can have "backup" services within the cloud if one goes down. It's not something we expected to need, but apparently we will. The situation was and still is entirely out of our control. It's entirely the responsibility of Microsoft Azure, the stuff that stopped working.

I'm going to postpone all the races that were run during the downtime.

The race will be in the next slot in the calendar, all races will move back along the calendar as they are set.

No problem, it was a nightmare for us as much as you. I was sitting for 2.5hrs basically waiting for Azure to say "it's back" so I could rush in and get everything back to normal. Not the most relaxing way to spend the afternoon. :D

There's never a dull moment in this job.

The races are already postponed and reset, so you should see the correct calendar now. I got that sorted out about 10 minutes ago.

If it was postponed to the next slot then it was likely reset in a bulk operation we ran just after things came back online to move any races impacted by this to the next slot.

Obviously it wouldn't be fair in the case of your league for anyone not attending to find out they missed the last 20 laps or so, so this is standard procedure if we encounter situations like this.

Sorry to those who had issues 1 hour ago, it appears there were still some ongoing problems as a result of the outage earlier. I've postponed those races that weren't running to the next slot.
