That's awfully small.
Remember that the numbers listed on the FIRST Event List web page do not necessarily reflect the total number of teams that will be able to sign up for the event. When registration is opened, FIRST typically holds slots in reserve for each event to allow assured access to a certain number of rookie teams. Also, for each of the NASA-sponsored events (Cleveland, Portland, St Louis, Annapolis, Atlanta, Denver, Las Vegas, Lafayette) they hold 10 or 20 slots for the teams that will be receiving grants to attend those events.
