Next month - the country allocations are being finalized by the International Class. Once that's done, each country has 30-45 days to fill their slots. Say Uzbekistan is allocated 20 slots - they'll have until mid May or so to register. If they've only filled 18 slots by the deadline, two slots go back to the International Class to reallocate to another country. So around the end of May, countries that filled their allocations and requested additional slots will be notified there is room.

We still expect the US Class to be allocated about 30 slots initially. If you're one of them, you'll hear from Dave Ingram with registration information. Following that, there will be about a month gap until we get unused slots back from other countries and can register more US teams.
