So your choice list would look like this:

If event2 (available) book_it
if event1 (waitlist < 25) book_it
if event2 (waitlist < 10) book_it
if event3 (available) book_it

It just goes down the list until something works and then you are done.

Write some specs up, there are about 3000 coders lurking here that would love to write a sample program on how it could work.
The current system tells you a green, yellow, red indication of roughly how long the waitlist is, but not an exact number. So I guess it only needs to be that specific. I guess it wouldn't be that hard to code something like this, but I'm hesitant to rely on even more custom software and logic for this sort of thing, considering the track record from FIRST recently of their web interfaces and whatnot.
