The waitlist

Set a capacity on registration and the division can never overfill. Entry number capacity + 1 is offered the waitlist instead of a rejection.

How it works

• Waitlisted players get a ticket like everyone else, marked WAITLIST, with their live status at their reference link — including their place in line ("You're #2 in line").
• The public division card shows the queue length too (full — waitlist: 3), so newcomers know what they're joining.
• When a confirmed entry withdraws, the first waitlisted entry promotes automatically — they're notified by email, and if the division has an entry fee, payment is collected at promotion (never while waiting).
• You can also promote manually: the console's Waitlist tab shows the numbered queue (#1 is next) with a Promote button per entry — or Waive fee & promote when a fee would otherwise be due.

Common questions

Do waitlisted players pay? No — money is only taken when a real spot is theirs.

Can I see the queue order? Yes — the Waitlist tab numbers the queue #1, #2, … oldest-first; that's the automatic promotion order, and each registrant sees their own position on their status page.

Can I close the waitlist? Closing registration stops new entries entirely; the existing queue keeps promoting on withdrawals until you withdraw the waitlisted entries too.
