Jon Stratis,

For starters, I'm assuming the RD would be aware of at least a good chunk of those rookies before they actually register, and would set the waitlist status accordingly. However, that's the risk you take with any waitlist, and why the waitlist exists in the first place rather than just putting teams right onto the roster of attending teams. The RD would simply have the ability to publicly show a status to teams curious about the event.
