I'm liking more and more the idea of having a published criteria and opening this all up.

I've had this discussion with others from my team, unfortunately. It usually goes like this: "since your the LRI at North Star, we should sign up elsewhere first since we'll get into the local one because of you.". To which I reply "we sign up for the local one first, our I'll tell the RD not to pull us off the waitlist. Gaming the system like that just isn't GP". I'be never had anyone try to argue past that.
All that said, one of the big concerns we have is volunteers for an event. If we look at the waitlist and we know team A brings us a dozen volunteers and team B brings none, it makes having team A more attractive to the planners. Likewise, sometimes you have key volunteers you just can't do without that are needed at multiple events, and you have to try to make accommodations for their team sometimes. Trust me, we try to avoid it... But sometimes there just aren't any options.
