An analogy would be if you were trying to fit different sized objects into a box. One strategy would be to start with the largest objects first. Without seeing the actual code, it is hard to say. Regardless, if your group has a lot of points and you want to play in the morning then the probability of being denied goes up. For example, one of my groups is a foursome and an average of 3 points this time of year will get us a denial most of the time.
So, a large group would go to the front of the line and take up several prime tee times. I don't care for the sound of that.
