Anyone know how Bandai determines player attendance at LCS?

Wondering how Bandai determines how many players attend locals and release events at each LCS since product allocations are heavily dependent on that.
Is it based on how many people sign up and apply to events at an LCS on the Bandai app? (What about stores that do registrations outside the app?)
Do Bandai request additional evidence from stores e.g. available space and capacity to host specific numbers of players like 16, 32 etc.?

ATLA Aang On Airscooter #541 - is this a legit Funko?

Recently bought my first ever Funko because I really like Avatar the Last Airbender. I got off eBay from a seller with 100% positive feedback and who had some more than 1k items so far.
I checked some other listings for the same Funko and there is a bit of variation in particular on the bottom of the box. But this being my first Funko I’m not sure what to look to verify authenticity. Any help or guidance would be massively appreciated.
