4) Rinse and repeat
This would be a much more equitable system than "may the fastest clicker win" (or perhaps, may the fastest-coded-registration-bot win).

Okay, how does a team get to decide if they are put on the waitlist for the first event, or open registration for the 2nd? What if they only want to be on a waitlist that is X teams long or smaller? Where does a team go if they only have one viable event and it fills?
The current system isn't very "fair", but being able to make these decisions in real time has some benefit that we at least have to think about.
