It's presently entirely opportunistic; if you happen to be having a kid when the arena's full, you just silently fail and keep your points. This could result in an agent being able to spawn with 101 points if a gap comes up at the right time, while a 201 point agent isn't able to because he/she doesn't get in on time.
