We are sitting at 30 or 31 (my Dutch team under the usf_bulls ID is only in its 2nd season and can be withdrawn to free up a spot.) It would be awesome to get to 32 so that the Group Stage has four teams apiece and the knockout qualification is straightforward. There are still a couple of Cup regulars that have yet to respond to the sign-up, so hopefully a final entry or two will trickle in before I close signups Friday evening.
In the meantime,, if any of you have a backup team that you'd be willing to enter on standby, please let me know.
