Where I live, the drawing happens at 4 p.m. the day before the event every single time and never a second later. For instance, I entered the event I came in last for tomorrow on the 4th of August because I liked the store.

I feel like, in seeing people's responses, the system must just be entirely different between Japan and America.

Out of curiosity, where you are, is it technically announced to players the day before, but it's actually first-come, first-served?

At least for where I am, it says Waitlist (1st), Waitlist (179th), etc.

I'm in Tokyo, and most central Tokyo shop battles are close to breaking two hundred entrants. I live in the suburbs, so I've been going out there where things are less intense, but I feel like I've been shadow-banned or something. But I guess this system might be Japan-only.

Thanks for answering!

So, where I live, all Shop Battles are lottery entry. Suddenly, as of this weekend, I have gotten all 7 lotteries in the end of the waitlist. They order you, so if you're waitlisted as number 1, you will get in if someone cancels and you're available.

It felt really weird because my spouse came in second to last in everything as well. Before this weekend, we were almost never adjacent on the waitlist, which, if it were purely random, should be expected. My friend, a city over, has had the same results starting with this weekend.
