It's coming back by popular demand! The Bell Tree World Championship! After three years, our grand gaming event will return on May 18th with ten Nintendo Switch games to play, both competitively and casually. Signups for the event are now open as explained in the new Bell Tree World Championship 2024 thread!
They are. To reserve there is a 10 BTB fee. Or you can just lurk. If you reserve you have 24 hours to adopt. If you lurk you have 12 hours to adopt once a villager goes into boxes.
Below is the info from my OP about lurking or reserving:
Reserving and lurking is allowed, only for current villagers. To reserve there will be a fee of 10BTB. Those that reserve get first grabs over those that are only lurking. Those that have reserved will have 24 hours to pickup their villager once I have posted and PM'd you. Lurkers will have 12 hours from the time I have posted and PM'd you
