Why are there no spaces left at our Start Zone?
Because that zone is currently running ahead of the others. We balance groups across the Start Zones as bookings come in, so a zone is shown as full as soon as it has 2 more groups than the zone with the fewest.
It's counted in groups, not people — the number of players you're registering makes no difference to zone availability.
Here's the rule in action, using three zones as an example.
Start Zone 1 | Start Zone 2 | Start Zone 3 |
|---|---|---|
5 | 3 | 4 |
Full | Spaces available | Spaces available |
Another group registers and picks Start Zone 3:
Start Zone 1 | Start Zone 2 | Start Zone 3 |
|---|---|---|
5 | 3 | 5 |
Full | Spaces available | Full |
Only Start Zone 2 is left for the next group. But if that group had picked Start Zone 2 instead:
Start Zone 1 | Start Zone 2 | Start Zone 3 |
|---|---|---|
5 | 4 | 4 |
Spaces available | Spaces available | Spaces available |
— everything opens up again.
So zones open and close throughout the booking period as groups come and go. A zone that's full now may well be available later, and you can change your Start Zone at any point up to the cut-off deadline. Over the whole booking window this is what leaves each zone with roughly an equal share of the groups.
