I think the capacity is going to get really finicky as early as 2015, but definitely by the last year under the current venue agreement, unless there are sweeping changes to the eligibility for the event (dropping EI, RAS, Wild Cards, or pre-qualified participants) there are size restrictions for regionals, there are caps for number of regionals, or dropping points-based slots for district systems. Following the trends of event increases, team increases, and the average acceptance rate for merit-based slots (I believe 85%), there will be a problem next year, but that's not factoring in fluctuations of merit based slots of groups of regionals transitioning to a district system which can see an increase, decrease, or stagnation of slots held.
