The only potential issue I can see with publishing reserve spots and a count of waitlist teams is if RDs which to change the number of reserve spots available. I'm sure RDs have found a bit of pit space to add a team here or there and they may not want that to be public. I don't think that is a very good reason to keep it private but I can see the argument.

I'm all for transparency, we all know that teams get in for various reasons and we know it's not first come first serve, so I don't see who it benefits to keep teams in the dark. Are teams going to feel any more slighted by knowing for sure they signed up before a team that did get in? The system as we have it makes some sense, there are teams that are needed for events like others have said. With a more open system we can better provide feedback to RDs about how they each might improve their process.
