Procedures change but this is my experience. Lot reserved last Nov, I think and closed in June 2021.

Sales people told about new lots on Tuesday, and they are available for reservation/sale on Friday 12:00pm.

My agent showed me a street of new lots on a Wednesday, they were not yet released. I picked the lot I wanted and gave him two backup lots. How will I get the lot I want? He said it comes down to who presses enter first at 12pm on Friday. My agent has been around a while and knows the routine. He sits at the computer Friday as the clock approaches 12 noon and the moment the computer says 12pm, he hits the enter button and the lot was mine. Later I learned there were two other agents wanting that/my lot. Fortunately, my agent knew how the game was played and took care of his client/me. That entire block of lots were sold in 2 minutes. There was a premium on these lots because no neighbor behind you. Privacy runs at a premium in TV.

All your questions should be answered through an agent from TV Sales.
