Kabuto's team is eliminated in the second test, because his team mates meet up with Gaara after he leaves them to go back and check on Team 7. Otherwise, it's canon teams plus the new genin, so the participant list is:
Sound: Dosu, Kin, Zaku
Sand: Gaara, Temari, Kankuro
Mist: Mina, Ami, Mako
Leaf:
#4 Usagi, Neji, Rei
#6 Naruto, Rikou, Lee
#7 Tenten, Sasuke, Sakura
#8 Shino, Hinata, Kiba
#9 Shikamaru, Ino, Choji
Preliminary Matches that matter to the plot:
Rikou d. Hinata (alfficted with clingy-genjutsu)
Naruto d. ?? - Shino by giving his bugs a chakra stomach-ache would be funny, granted
Neji d. ??
Gaara d. Lee
Usagi d. ??
Mina d. Sasuke
Tenten d. ??
Shikamaru d. ??
Temari d. ??
?? d. ??
?? d. ??
?? d. ??
remaining: Kankuro, Choji, Ami, Rei, Dosu, Kiba, Sakura (but unless Ino gets sucked in during the Team 7 arc, she'll fight Ino and win), Ino, Kin, Mako, Zaku
Finals that matter:
Tenten d. Neji (Rikou would actually be better from a closeing-the-love-polygon aspect, but I don't see it - say what you will about the attitude, he really is that good unless someone can specifically negate his advantages)
Shikamaru d. Temari (or someone else who knows the meaning of strategy)
(one more fight? A non-Leaf victory would be kinda nice in a denial-of-plot-immunity way, as long as its a reasonably even match. Someone who'll be used later would be best.)
Naruto vs. Gaara (interrupted)
Usagi's fight is not reached
Greiver - chances of the Mizukage offering your team's services to the Leaf post-invasion, supposedly as a gesture of good will, actually to have local assets who can see just how much damge was done, and noncoincidentally keep you out of the way?

ETA: Nathan: I'm guessing that Neshan could probably put a stronger conterseal than Kakashi's in canon on the Curse mark, and if not Jiraya likely can, but as the one with the seal master avatar just how good is probably more up your alley to determine. Opinions?That which does not kill us... has made its last mistake.
