Estimate approximately 4oz per (Adult) guest. So that's 4 guests per pound of cooked meat or about 25 pounds of cooked brisket. Remember a brisket looses approximately 20% of it raw weight when cooked.
Average brisket weights 9-12lbs lets call it 10lbs for easy math. when cooked it will serve at about 8 lbs and so you would buy 3 briskets that each weigh slightly more than 10 lbs.
Brisket is a very fatty coarse meat that shrinks markedly when cooked; when smoking, experienced grill masters expect 40-50% shrinkage. Even cooked low and slow in the oven, you lose at least 1/3. In addition, unless you are just making Sandwiches, 1 pound cooked only serves 3 people in party type situations. I allow 1 pound raw for each 2 persons. ellenskitchen.com

How much brisket to feed 17 people?
if you have 50 people you have to make like 100 briskets cause some people might want extras Actually there are a few unknowns that the question does not explain - I will usually purchase 1 lb (trimmed) brisket per person. So if I am having 8 to 10 people to feed, I will prepare around 10 lbs. brisket - this might be two 5 lb. briskets as long as it adds up to roughly one pound per person (before cooking).
