At the size we are (66 - 72 teams), teams get 8 good matches, almost 1/2 of the field will be in the eliminations, the competition is tough, the organization of the event is manageable for people who do this as volunteers, the parent crews can cook and feed all of the teams, and we keep the "fun" feel for everybody.

There is a challenge to not letting this get too big and so cumbersome that it is no longer fun for everyone involved. We think the current team level (72) is just about right.

Bring in another group to plan, manage, run the second field. We will give you a run for your money . Have a different group every year, and watch out for different people from different region trying to come in and top the organizers of IRI!


Ha! I am just kidding of course . I don't know how you guys do it. The rest of us are watching jealously as the status of IRI rise higher and higher every year.

Good luck this year, don't let the California Teams beat you up too much!
