The number I heard was somewhere around 40. That may vary by location if there are physical limitations at the site. For instance, this means Wayne State would have to add 6-8 teams more than they have had in previous years. But since they wouldn't have to store shipping crates, the pit area could be expanded into the walled-off section east of last year's pits, part of the snack bar area.
Total capacity would be about 140 teams. There are currently 93 teams signed up.

It seems that there are about 25 in most of the events now. Has anyone calculated the average time between matches? It looks like it will be very quick turnarounds.

24 teams, assuming 2 3-team alliances, would require less than 4-match cycles (else the same 6 teams would always be in every 4th match). For 40 teams, you could theoretically average about 6 match cycles, but the program would most likely have to be set for a 3-match or 4-match minimum turnaround time. 12 matches per team on a 8-minute match cycle would take 10-2/3 hours total time to run matches - about 8 hours on Friday and 3 hours on Saturday morning? Certainly attainable.
