(...) Um, wow. That's quite the difference. Should be interesting to see how far behind the LUGNET team the other teams are. That's a ton of ISDs and a lot of table space to boot.

So, in checking around, I think this is the list of 10-person ISD builds? (Except BricksWest 2003, which had a 13-person team?)
