Is there a field cap for the tournament or a registration deadline? Still finalizing rosters but can submit tentative rosters if I need to secure spots soon.

It would be easier for me if you make your registrations, even if you need to heavily modify the rosters. This helps with planning, but you may continue to change your rosters.
