There's no way to tell if players are really cutting in line in front of other players. For example, last night and I went and stood in line to register. It Took about 20 minutes. The board said there was 72 on the waitlist for 1/2. There were about 15-20 players kind've standing around the poker room entrance getting sat in no particular order. As I looked across the room I saw multiple empty seats at various tables. I went to talk to a friend of mine who was playing 1/2 at a table in the back right. There were 2 empty seats at his table and they said it had been that way for at least 15 minutes. So I just sat in, got welcomed by the dealer and was dealt in right away.
I'm not sure weather or not I was cutting in line, but I do know that right now the room is very busy and somewhat disorganized. Players and coming and going and being sat not by their name on the WL but by whoever is closest to the room entrance and gets the attention of the floor. So I feel that you kind've have to "put yourself out there" or else other players will get sat ahead of you.
