Championship Arena price?

I was there with my kids, but I really don’t know anything about print numbers. We got ours in our hands because we just returned to our hotel room when they were indeed slipping them under the doors.
Perhaps a 500 of them printed sounds like a reasonable estimate.

These were slipped under the doors of the hotel rooms of competitors. They were not rewarded to competitors based on advancement within the tournament itself like their japanese holographic siblings. If you can dig into how many hotels/ rooms were distributed/ participated, that might lead to a good guesstimate. Was anyone on E4 among those in attendance?

Hotel rewards from that time were awarded by gym challenges if im not mistaken. basically a qualifier that was open and lead directly to worlds. I believe every state got one. Then Regionals fed into worlds as well, i think regionals didnt come with hotel but with travel vouchers for nats. but i think regionals could qualify for worlds. then nationals could also qualify for worlds and get hotel.
So overall id estimate the pop to be around 200ish from the US, then you have the internationals which at that time was a similar structure outside of japan.

Outside N-America the Nationals Champions got an invite with hotel and the winner of the only Stadium Challenge in 2005 in Austria.
No gym Challenge or Regionals international.
Japanese players had a different invite structure.
Worlds 2005 was in San Diego and players were spreaded around on the 4 or 5 buildings of the resort.
