No system could ever be fair to every single person.
The system as it is takes in to account both people who are really eager and register early, and the people who register for the hell of it but don't ever confirm or come.
People who confirm are placed ahead of the people who don't confirm (aka, the shuffle) - no matter how early the person that doesn't confirm registers, they will not be ahead of the player who does confirm once the player list shuffle happens next week.
If you are unfortunate enough to have only just found out about Respawn and don't end up getting a seat when the shuffle happens, then after 3PM on the Saturday if there's still space left, we'll let you in regardless. If you want, PM me and I'll give you my mobile number so you can call me around that time to check about space.
