Pokémon TCG: Sword and Shield—Brilliant Stars

Information about Stadium Challenge Metang

The east coast event had 132 players, making it the largest of the 3 events. The south event was about 100 players and west coast was 116. That would have been considered a large event back then. Obviously, more goes into how much of a card gets printed than how many people you expect to come to an event, but if you're printing a promo for only 3 events and 100-150 players would be considered a large event, that probably gives you a clue about how many binders have this card. Maybe there are more if it was given out at events outside of the US? Maybe there are more if organized play at the time was overly optimistic about expected attendance when the card went to the printers?

I believe Dave Tuskey ran that event on the East Coast
The two organizers were the local Rockville store owner and... Sensei. They were the senior TOs in the area. Looks like David Tuskey was a judge at the event.
 
I stand corrected.
Wow, hard to imagine that we thought those were big event sizes back in the day!
 
Yeah, that was in 2004 which was the year I moved away. Thinking back, I believe that must have been my last event for the area. Dave Tuskey did assume the TO role after I moved.
