I think it is obvious that at least 20 of the winners will be businesses. My guess would be 30 business 10 team and 10 individuals. Like you said they could technically only pick 50 businesses, but I don't think that would be good business if they told every team and individual to take a hike. Especially since most entries are probably from individuals which make the individual competition the most competitive. Plus, some of the business entries have been out done by individuals.
