Yup, mostly a reference to expect a very short waitlist (if any) for WCMP this year.
Here's the MAR blog referencing 55 teams.

For comparison: we went down the rankings list to the 65th ranked team to get 49 teams at MAR CMP last year (16 declines), and we went down to the 64th ranked team to get 53 teams at MAR CMP in 2012 (11 declines). Hopefully the extra week gap between district and DCMP will help fix this a bit, but I think it might be a struggle to add even more teams to the event since we have actually shrunk as a district compared to 2013.
