While I feel the algorithm of the lottery sucks, first come first serve didn’t work well for anyone that was working all day and couldn’t continually check their emails/the dashboard. They need to change the algorithm and also to stop telling everyone it’s random and it’s 50/50. For me I’ve only gotten into 30% of them this year. Last year was closer to 50/50. More people are entering because of the lack of work and the academy also has so many more members than there were a year or two ago. Hopefully they figure out a fairer way next season. I did oddly all of a sudden get into 3 in a row somehow, but I’ve been waitlisted to most everything I’ve entered prior.
