But, it seems you've already found a solution, you've banned an entire

Why can't people in China play?
Unfortunately, we had a person in China who had written a program that would
automatically submit tickets for 1,000 email addresses a day (or 10,000
tickets). We tried for many days to stop them in conventional ways, but for
every stop that we put into place they would work their way around it. So
the only way to stop them for sure was to say that anyone in China could
never win. One bad apple does spoil the whole bunch.
