- An opportunity is taken away each time the team registers for a Signature Event, whether during the Signature Event Early-Bird period or Standard period

- Each team starts the season with three (3) opportunities to register during the Signature Event Early-Bird period

- The waitlist will be sorted, and teams will be added in the following order:
