- DI Headquarters state over 335,000 kids participated this past year globally in DI. (That's over 47,500 - 7 person teams world-wide)
- Each team can have a minimum of 2 members and maximum of 7
- The four teams from Iowa that we knew about had 4, 4, 6 and 3 members each - so many teams do not have the full 7 members)
- 1101 teams competed at Globals -- that's it. Out of over 47,500 teams, only 1101 moved on to Globals
- Number of participants at Globals would range from 2202 kids to 7707 kids depending on the number of kids on a team . It's more like 5000-6000 kids total that participated.
- Attendence last week at Globals counting kids, parents, school coaches, appraisers, volunteers, grandparents, etc was around 12,000 to 13,000 people.
- Average hours of sleep for adults during the week - let me get back to you, I'm too sleep deprived to figure that out.
- Number of times kids ask to pin trade or go to the pool - too many to count
- Number of times we heard "I lost the back to one of my pins" - only about 100,000 times
- Number of times we heard "did you see what they were.... wearing, what color their hair was -- a couple times a day
- The smiles and saucersized eyes when the kids looked around - priceless
