How are banquet table selections determined?

How are banquet table selections determined?

Are they randomly assigned after all 400 tickets are sold?
Are the 'choice' seats given to early buyers of banquet tickets?
Can I request/bribe my way to someone's table?
It there a death match the day of, where only the living and raised undead attendees (controlled by the living) get to pick.

It's been "first come, first to pick your table." Paizo staff get to go through the banquet line first, and then go to their tables. When you exit through the banquet line, you step into the room, and pick a table with a Paizo staffer and an open seat.

Actually, all the banquet attendess have to submit a reservation request in 300 words or less. A panel of 4 judges then selects the Top 32 (plus alternates) who go on to compete in further rounds to determine who wins the ultimate prize--the banquet table of their choice. But try not to trample the hopes and dreams of all the other banquet attendees, as they'll be voting on your work in the rounds that follow. It's ultimately in their hands to decide who becomes the next PaizoCon Banquet Superstar!

Spoiler:

Or something like that...

*grin* Sean better get to work on his "Sean's consolidated advice thread" for PaizoCon Banquet Superstar! I'll be sure to remove the backstory from my Round 1 reservation request.

Yep, that's exactly how it works :)

That's not fair - there's way too many creative people playing this game!
Surely there's a risk of a spontaneous collapse of the universe with such a concentrated gathering of awesomeness!

I'm just glad I've got a ticket! Bring on the festivities!
