I agree- that is a problem and I would love to see a better solution for communicating to teams whether or not it is likely they will get in off the waitlist. I just don't think that publishing the waitlist and/or trying to use a set algorithm is a good solution.

Right now the best solution is to contact the RD and ask. Maybe a better solution would be to have the RDs contact the teams with a simple "Hey, I saw you are on the waitlist for _____, but I know that 14 of the 15 reserved slots are already earmarked for other teams so you may want to consider trying another regional."
