*Percentages have been rounded to nearest whole number. Numbers in bold indicate the correct brand category match (i.e. the brand category of the actual sponsoring brand) for each team. Column and row percentages do not total to 100 % because they represent the number of children who placed the magnet category with each team. Children could place more than one product magnet with each team
