On my old server, all raiding was scheduled on a master schedule forum. Each area was open to a group for a raid for a time period, and then they were out for a week. Or some period of time, I cannot recall. The booking rule was that you could not have it constantly manned - ie, your raid had to clear out completely at the end of your raid. If you showed multiple times and didn't get the mob, you were then able to get someone to pop it for you.

If you arrived and someone was already there, and they were NOT on the schedule, whomever was on schedule had preference. If the area was unclaimed, the groups had to negotiate who was camping what areas.

But it allowed all the raid guilds access, from the high end to the little shmoes on the bottom. It worked. And folks were happy with it.

I also know I had just gotten into raiding for a handful of raids.... and after a couple weeks, they all quit and went to WoW... LOL So I don't recall all the details.... But it worked very well on that server.

I admit, I have a long way to go before raiding here. I don't know what's going on here in that regard, and I'm not trying to overstep my bounds. I just wanted to share from my past experience. Who knows? Maybe it could be a very good way forward for folks here, too? Or not! lol

WoW didn't come out until long after this servers timeline. I highly doubt you had a raid rotation list after they moved most of the encounters to instances.
