If you need one tent at each location when you have 5 locations, you still need one tent (maybe bigger) at each location when you have 20. It just takes more people and more resources but those are available because the system is already that large. It's not a mystery. They get 100,000 people plus in Bryant-Denney Stadium at Alabama for a football game rather easily. Getting 2300 women to 16 houses seems fairly simple compared to that.

Hmmm...I was thinking more along the lines of how you get huge groups of PNM's in and out of the house in the allotted time for each round, how many alums have to hide in the kitchen refilling punch bowls, and things like that.

But I guess this relates to what you said upthread about IU...because it was a gradual increase, you adapted as it grew; it's not like PNM's doubled overnight.

Oh for heaven's sake! How many people are backstage at a banquet plating the food, etc??? And they have like 18-20 parties in one round. That's only 100 or so women going thru a house built for 300. Not all the women are on the floor at one time. Not all that difficult. Stop thinking what you are used to. It's not the same.
