More than 1600 teams now showing as registered (plus a guesstimated 40-50 hidden on waitlists). Last year only had 1307 teams showing (with a guesstimated waitlist of maybe 30 teams).
Last year's registration didn't reach 1600 until 8 days later.
Peachtree reached Initial Capacity.
More than 100 new teams.
