Yes, they can. And it would be fine. Some people would probably stay in the waiting room so that probably no one will be excluded from playing - as opposed to now where everybody who joins is excluded from playing until the big game ends. If you're worried about the single best or worst player being excluded from the big game, set a maximum for maxelo and a minimum for minelo such that the elo limit excludes multiple players who can then play with each other.

Your suggestion is for there to be a single public teams room that acts at the waiting room. This is simply incompatible with having public elo-limited rooms, of any size. |
There would be one waiting room without elo limits and people could still make their own custom rooms additionally.
In a rare event, it can be that more people join a newly created custom room than there are people in the waiting room. This can only happen for a short moment because then, this game will start. Most of the time, custom rooms will be running and then the waiting room will still be your best bet for the next game because when those non-password protected custom team games end, its players are sent to the waiting room.
There is an inferior variant where custom rooms are not sent to the waiting room. This would allow them to bypass the waiting room in an undesirable way and would leave the minelo/maxelo problem unaffected.
