You are correct it is not first come, first served. Rookie teams get moved to the head of the line. Teams that have no registered event get moved ahead of teams that are registered for one event already. Teams that have a unique hardship and make the RD aware of it will probably get moved ahead of those that don't.

However if there are fewer or the same number of teams as available spots then they will all be offered a spot. In rare cases they may even add an extra team beyond the original capacity.
