How Many Teams At Worlds in St. Louis?

Thanks so much for the quick responses everyone!

I have one more question. Forgive me if this should have been a separate thread, I'm still new to this.

Do they need to have translators at worlds? With that many teams coming it seems like not all of them would necessarily speak English.
Thanks,

They don't typically need translators, as at least one or two members or mentors of a team would speak English. However, translators have been available previously for judging sessions.

Most teams usually have at least one member that speaks english at the pits. However, other teams can help translate for you while they may have translators at hand. I can't say for sure because at Champs last year, our division had only 6 Candian and two Mexican teams. So we didn't have much of an issue.
