Porta Potty Rental for Youth Sports Tournaments in Phoenix
A weekend youth tournament with 2,000 players and families on site for 8 hours comes out at about 20 units on the PSAI chart, and at least 20 under the Maricopa County 1 per 100 rule. Park restrooms can lower the count in some cities.

Tournament crowds come in waves between games, so lines form at the same time. Spread units across field clusters instead of one block by the parking lot.
Mesa lets events use 1 portable per 300 attendees when permanent restrooms sit within 200 feet, with the owner's signed approval and signage.
