That's a pretty good question. i guess to make the other gagns feel like they had a little more back up than if they only came with 2 or 3.

9 people.

1 Leader
1 War Chief
1 Solider
1 Bearer (Pays trains)
1 Writer
1 Soundman (keeps them entertained while on a 2+hr train journey)
3 War party

makes sense to me

wot makes 10 so good exactly i mean just cos its even or sumthin. nah just kiddin but y not 9 details dont really matter maybe he thought to himself of how many people there would be to fit in the park i mean for the amount of gangs there an extra person from each would have made it more than crowded

I say 12, oh and if the Riffs didn't know who the Warriors were, then how is it they got invited?

When Masai asks; "who are the Warriors?"....nobody knows!

shouldn't they have chosen an extra warrior just in case something happens?

In the book it was 7 so it's just an arbitrary number I suppose.

Why 9?  A baseball team has 9 players.  Easy...in case they wanted to have a baseball tournament after the big meeting!  ;)

Cleon - Pitcher
Swan - 1st Base
Ajax - 2nd Base
Fox - Shortstop
Snow - 3rd Base
Vermin - Catcher
Cochise - Right Field
Cowboy - Center Field
Rembrandt - Left Field / Bat Boy
