I think the biggest problem here is that the waitlist isn't a first-come, first-serve list. They can't tell you where you are on the list, because there isn't a set algorithm for determining the order of who gets in.
For example, is this a rookie team that just didn't sign up for the event in time and hasn't registered for any other events? If so, they will probably be the first ones off the waitlist.
