How many people competed at the 2024 World Championships in Honolulu (more than 3,000) and how many spectators had signed up (14,000)

How it’s built

1. Reported by Honolulu Civil Beat, a local news site: “more than 3,000 people from over 50 countries and regions competing”, with 14,000 spectators signed up.

What we assumed

• Sign-ups are recorded as spectators.They are pre-event registrations, not a door count; not everyone who signs up attends.

Sanity check

The organiser later reported “more than 13,000 players and fans” in total, below 3,000 plus 14,000, so sign-ups overstate turnout.

The values

• Competitors: 3,000
• Spectators signed up: 14,000
