1. A method comprising:
identifying, by one or more processors coupled to memory, a plurality of contests to be provided in a lobby interface to a plurality of users, the plurality of contests having a plurality of contest attributes;
determining, by the one or more processors, a respective rank value for each of the plurality of contests, the respective rank value of each contest determined using a respective registration ratio of the contest and a respective registration deadline of the contest;
updating, by the one or more processors, the respective rank value of at least one contest of the plurality of contests responsive to a change in the respective registration ratio of the at least one contest of the plurality of contests;
arranging, by the one or more processors, based on the respective rank value of the at least one contest of the plurality of contests, the plurality of contests for display within the lobby interface;
determining, by the one or more processors, that a registration limit for a first contest has been satisfied; and
allocating, by the one or more processors, computing resources for maintaining an additional contest responsive to determining that the registration limit for the first contest has been satisfied, the additional contest to include at least one contest attribute of the first contest.
