In previous years events have filled up very quickly, with subsequent registrants being placed on the Wait List. Team placement into an event is based on the time of registration of the first team member for the event, however if the second team member does not register within 24 hours of the first registration then that team will be moved onto the Wait List. Note that the slotting of teams into the event and the Wait List is automated in the software.
