Waiting game means everyone will wait, and wait, to avoid registering and withdrawing / re-registering on the last day.
How does it help? It depends on which side of the fence / which team you are on.
For <1km, they can wait and wait, especially if they have more than 1 viable choice (or are simply undecided). It's now possible to wait, and aim for the school that gives you the best odds. Given that this group *roughly* knows what the odds are, they can spring a surprise on the last day on those >1km applicants who are hopeful of their chances in a particular school.
It's possible that the odds for >1km will dwindle very rapidly on the last day, depending on how things go. Hence, if you are >1km applying for ANY school, you will have to watch the monitor closely, in case you are caught by a sudden influx of <1km applicants.
Ahhh… I see… thanks for the explanation!!
Let’s see how things go this year
