We're in for sure now too.
Just received an email from Kevin, here is what it said on the number of teams:
Team’s – there are currently 26 confirmed/paid teams. I have 3 or 4 expressing interest or having mailed in the applications, but I just don’t have them yet. We expect to be around 24-26 teams in total. There are 2 teams competing in their first year of KCBS competition, and there are at least 3 teams from Kane County.
