Is there any way that a new member (myself) can enter the contest? If not thats cool, i just thought it would be nice to participate.
There will be an alternate list you can add your name to. This will fill in no shows and if there is enough more teams will probably be made. I dont think the list is up yet but keep an eye out for it.
The deadline for the initial sign ups have passed, but as OH stated above an alternate list will be created soon, so keep checking.
