This is my main concern with all the no deposit pre-booking. It will be interesting tomorrow how many of the original pre-bookers make it, but even that probably won't reflect how many will make it to the later rounds, where people are pre-booking weeks or months ahead. It will be sad to see people missing out because they think there's no places when inevitably some pre-bookers won't show.
I'm not sure what we can do about it, other than asking people to gamble on the reserve list and urging pre-bookers to let the organisers know as early as possible if their plans change.
It's something we have to monitor, but if last year is anything to go by (it might not be!), while tomorrow will likely be full, we're unlikely to see 120 at the subsequent rounds.
It does seem wrong for people to be in two classes over people being able to enter at all, perhaps the later rounds this year people should nominate a preferred class and should only get a place in a second class if entries allow.
