I think there was confusion with how the ratings tier registration was being handled. 1.02-C2 that Zack referenced does allow an unlimited number and registrants if they fit the criteria for rating. I myself was under the assumption as well that all available spots were gonna be released if met the rating criteria (see CCO reg). This one was setup with the higher ratings part of the exclusive pre reg crowd therefore, falling into the percentages mentioned above. Guess just some food for thought in the future to clarify which version going with. If nothing else, it’s an extra chance for higher ratings to successfully beat others to the register button.
Matt, you bring up good points. The misunderstanding and frustration is legit. We essentially are using a hybrid of limited and unlimited exceptions with the purpose of giving limited priority and access to 1) Sponsors 2) Higher Tiered Players 3) everyone else
