based off of what i know from the judges, it will all depend on the choreography judges and what they like. as i recall, last year the choreography judges had everyone placed so randomly they completely mixed up the results. also, if the vocal judges place a group or two higher than everyone else (like last year) that will help out a lot!
I'm pretty sure Totino will win this competition, just cuz but otherwise i'm not sure. i think these will be the finalists (in no order, because there is NO way of knowing):

We haven't gotten anything about it. I keep meaning to post the list that was in the letter Bill mailed in September. There were 16 groups signed up then, and the letter was asking for 2 more. That's pretty much all we know.
