Event Waitlist and Capacity Transparency

[dag0620]

I'm normally all for transparency, but this is one of the few times where I feel it is just not possible. Qualitative judgement is a huge part of clearing reserved slots, and there is no way to make a metric to take that into account. Reserved slots are typically meant for local teams, and the RD is normally the person with the best pulse on who in the local community needs to be taken care of.

For me, I'd love to see the number of teams on the wait list public. Beyond that, I don't see what else could or should be shown.
