The tournament clock in this photo shows that there have been 2,318 entries in the National Cup Championship. That number has since grown by then and will continue to rise until registration closes at the start of Level 11.

With this, the previous APT side event record of 2,305 entries has officially been broken. The National Cup Championship now stands alone at the top, and the final total is still climbing.

And remember, this is only Event 1 of the festival. If the opening event is already rewriting the record books, the rest of APTC is shaping up to be something special.
