Native speaker’s answer

A "free-for-all" is an event or situation that is disorganised and unrestricted. It's kind of like everyone can do what they want to do without any rules, which can lead to chaos at times. In some situations, a "free-for-all" works well. Such as a sale, discussion, or at a market. Ex: The mall was so chaotic just before Christmas. It felt like a free-for-all. Ex: The park used to be taken care of well. Now it's a free-for-all where people can do what they want there.
