26 events updated their attendance lists today, pulling teams off the wait lists.
St. Louis dropped their open capacity to the current 35 teams. They still had almost 20 additional slots advertised before that.
Israel has almost filled up with only 4 open slots showing.
A smattering of other events show one or two open spaces.
No change in the Michigan lists reflecting any team 3rd events yet.
They did add one more team though for 138.
1824 teams showing.
If it follows past history the overall team list could continue climbing for a couple of more days until the fallout from teams not able to raise last minute funds start to decimate a handful of hopefuls.
