So that sounds like around 12 active pilots per glider, with unlimited
hours. How do you manage contention for the gliders on the weekends?

Restriction of flying time, depending on the number of pilots per
glider.

Which pretty much means no XC flying for those guys, right?

Indeed.
But it's amazing: Often at less-than-perfect weather we only use one
of our DG-300s because the pilots are too lazy to invest the ten
minutes to assemble the second 300. Instead they limit themselves to
one hour or 90 minutes because they have to share the remaining 300
with three to four other pilots.
Hard to understand - especially if you consider the fact that in my
club with our flatrate a flight with a winch launch is completely
free, even if it takes the whole day...
Lazy folks.
