Description

When a contestant needs to go to the bathroom, they often end up waiting becouse someone else is already there (at this very moment, with 84 participants, we have a queue of length 4). There should be a system to allow them to ask to go, and to see their position in the queue. The admin can then see the queue and accept or refuse requests (e.g. if someone goes too many times). The user should receive a notification when they can go. Maybe this can be implemented by using the existing messaging system.

Research direction

Start by examining the existing messaging system, since the issue suggests using it for bathroom requests and notifications. Define the queue behavior for contestants and the accept/refuse workflow for admins; done means users can request and see their position, admins can manage requests, and users are notified when approved.
