Using Creative 1.0

I had a thought, but not sure how to test - is there a limit to the amount of players that spawn in one area? I have a pre-game lobby where all players spawn in perfectly fine (spawn pads are distanced) but when the game starts and uses other spawn pads, some players are forced to spectate. Can anyone test the theory?
Pre-game lobby
Game start location
^50 spawn pads
