We already do this for FIRST choice, and it works perfectly well.

What use is forcing people to all click refresh at the same time when we already have an alternative system that is easier on mentors' time and server load?
This would alienate a lot of teams that only attend 1 event and its the closest/least expensive/local event. I know several teams that a system like this would effect.

Why? How is it more fair to give an event to teams that click on it quickest instead of randomly splitting the spots amongst the teams that prioritize it most?
