Believe it or not, Chesapeake almost always opens up additional spots for teams who want to go after the deadline. We usually get 11 or 12 teams in addition to the first 54 and I know there were several teams pending that could not get in (by the time 2199 registerred) (204, 224, 1676, 1895, 1975 namely). There might be some teams coming in, who may decide in the last minute to go as we are actually 1 under our original limit. (2 teams left: 2086 left to join 1893 and 2088 is building up for next year.) So in theory, there is one more spot (regularly open). 53 teams means way too much room! (The current venue fits 70 teams comfortably, with plenty of stands/pit room left (unless TJ2 comes again). The only problem is needing a second field. There were 65 last year and I think 60 in 2005 and the regional has averaged over 60 teams since 2004. Just food for thought and something to tell FIRST to open up Chesapeake Regional
