How many teams can register?
Most events have a capacity of 20-26 teams based on the number of available tables at the venue. Every event since November 2022 has been a sellout with a waiting list.
How does the waiting list work?
If the event reaches capacity, a waiting list will form which can be joined for free. If the number of seats in your team become available, the system will automatically email ALL emails on the waiting list at once and fill in the order
