Go for it. The regional has confirmed a hard cap of 60 teams. We currently have 53 registered. 2167, 2346, 5082, & 5968 are regular attendees that I expect to show up. Not sure if there are any other rookies lurking that the regional director is holding spots for. We are close to our limit, but Robert Dumler, the regional director, should know for sure.
FYI: The wait-list is not always first-on = first-off. Priority is a bit of a mystery, but I'll take a general stab at it.
1. Rookies looking for a 1st event.
2. Local teams who are still registering for a 1st event
3. Non-local teams registering for a 1st event.
4. Local teams who are registering for a 2nd event.
5. Non-local teams who bring something extra to the event (volunteers).
6. Other non-local teams looking for a 2nd event.
7. Teams looking for a 3rd event.
Sometimes it takes a while to get off of the wait-list because the regional director is waiting for priorities 1, 2 & 3 to fully exhaust themselves. Last year we didn't get off of the wait list until the middle of build season.  But we had the assurance of the regional director that it would eventually happen. Trust the regional director.
