Rachel Weiner, the volunteer coordinator of the event, tells Chicagoist that "this year we have teams representing all neighborhoods and ethnicities of Chicago and we're excited about a possible record turn out to see the 8 groups that made it to the finals tonight."

So, go early and get your tickets! They're only $6 for students and $12 for adults. Doors open at 5 and the show starts at 6.
