I would think that it would be more fair to start a waiting list
of players that wanted to join.  Then when openings become
available, post the classified as usual.  Wait a week for
responses and take the player(s) closest to the top of the list.
My machine received this article with the classified and the
article saying that the 2 openings had already been filled *on
the same day*.

You could also post the waiting list periodically so people could
make sure that their mail had reached you.
