Technical correct, but so long as the shelter is full before tents/hammocks start going up, the spirit of the rule is being followed... Seems like I've been at a shelter during the bubble and even the ridge runner didn't care who was and who was not in the shelter so long as the shelter was full and reservation holders had first option at the shelter.

So long as the spirit of the rules are being followed, there isn't the danger of more restrictive rules getting put in place.
