The even registration process was an issue before, and seems like it may be an even bigger one now. This is especially true in California. Some veteran teams who attend two events have to make the decision of which to register for first, at the risk of missing out on available spots at the other. It's not an easy decision to make, and as far as I know, there is no great method to predict one's likelihood of getting into any particular even when capacity is raised for second-round registrations.

So the bottom line is, I can't be sure where to register first because I'm not sure what will be full or open during the second registration window. How do we fix this?
