It is very hard to understand how smoothly this place happens and how nice it is by reading a Forum on line.
You will realize that The Villages is not run by Villagers.
When you visit you should attend the class about the CDD and how this place works.
If you move here in years to come, perhaps you will be a volunteer with skills to share.

Setting pickleball aside (which is actually run by no one on site), the groups ARE run by Villagers. And the overcrowding on popular classes is real. I quit going to my favorite weights class because you had to show up an hour early. And I won't even think about going to things like Walk Away the Pounds or zumba in the high season because they're so crowded. Line dancers have told me the same thing about having to be an hour early to get a spot.
I think OP's idea has merit. It works for golf. There would have to be some way to account for no-shows, though, as in the golf system. Like a points system or something like three no-shows and you're out.
