The check-in staff will know the seat number (presumably they can pull 
off a list of unchecked-in passengers) and simply allocated it on a hand 
written boarding card to the overbooked passenger. This would be done 
about 8 or 10 minutes before departure once check in is closed off for 
that departure.
