There are 47 teams on that MN list that are not registered for an event, 26 of which have no number, 5 of which have a name and location listed. Add to those 5 a good chunk of the 8 teams from 2015 who don't have an event yet (all registered in TIMS for 2016), as well as some of the 13 other teams with no event (returners who didn't compete last year and have registered in TIMS for 2016), and that could fill out the ~20 teams needed to hit 3k. And that's just MN, I'm sure other regions will bring a lot to the table too. In all, there are almost 500 teams in US (plus more internationally I'm sure) who are registered on TIMS but have no event yet.
2960 teams now.
