Weekly event...ability to rejoin connection error

[anthonyd5189 5]

Just sat around for 10 minutes for my one opportunity to run the race today only to get a connection error while joining (didn't catch the exact code).  Once back to the weekly event page, the timer read 58 minutes and I can't join for an hour.  Why not allow a 2-3 minute window to join instead of the one-shot and done that way if someone doesn't connect on the first go they at least can attempt again before having to wait another hour?  VERY frustrating that I miss out on this because the servers are garbage.

Out of 4 tries, I managed to join only once.
