you are not alone in making such a wish. i too would very much like to 
know if there is a limit to the number of tests in the shootout, and if 
there is a limit to the number of tests in a category of tests.

if there is a limit this seems like yet another reason to have 
categories. it would be very complicated to explain that we have enough 
tests of as certain type/set/category, but not have type/set/category.
