Why do I always become the leader during itrial zoning?

Almost every time I do an iTrial, once we zone I am the leader even when I didn't form it. Is this something I am doing, the speed of my computer, what? Anyone know?

If you join using the LFG queue it can randomly assign it to you when it creates the teams. Not really sure why it does it. I've had it make me the league leader that way.

I have never used the LFG, ever. It just happens when the league zones in.

I have heard, though have not confirmed, that when the game reshuffles leadership this way it assigns leadership to the first person zoned in. So if you have a particularly fast load time, say a solid state drive or high end hard drive, you might be getting it a lot.

If the leader sets the event to closed, everyone gets scrambled every time, and the fastest zoning character gets the league star. The first few people to zone in will end up on teams together, but then subsequent people end up each on their own team. There is some evidence that if someone ends up loading in after all six league team slots are full like this, they will be kicked from the league.

Because of this, I never lock leagues any more unless I know they are small enough not to lose people, even if I am trying something I don't want random folks to join, like a private badge run.

If the leader sets the event to open, the teams are usually preserved, and the scrambling of players into random (and some 1-person) teams never seems to happen. However, which team leader has the league star will still sometimes change. This does not seem to always happen, even if a given team leader zones much faster than the original league leader.
