I'd guess the chances are slim to none.
I'd expect some further rise for the next two weeks as HQ works with teams, but then actually a fall back as some teams finally drop out after failing to raise the necessary funds or otherwise pull it all together.
Last year after this point in time we gained an additional 44 teams then lost 88 teams as they dropped out. That also had a later (~2 weeks) registration close.
The year before shows an ultimate net gain of 32 teams after this date. Also with a longer registration period.
Most earlier years showed a modest net gain (<100) after this point.
