Not speaking as APAT "staff", but as this Event is already able to attract MANY Forums with 10 players, I don"t think we"ll need to go down the route of changing anything.

The mooted idea was to consider reducing the team members to enable more teams to be represented not as a slight on the numbers of players wanting to play, as there seems to be a huge amount of interest and so many teams will miss out, whether APAT select the 16 teams or they are drawn at random.
If the venue can only accomodate 160 players why not consider reducing the players per team to up the number of teams and create a larger team / forum competition?
If this is the APAT Team Championship, surely it is worth considering having as many teams as possible represented?

Seconded...
32 teams of 5 is much easier to achieve than 16 teams of 10 and lessens the risk of disappointing the numerous organisations who either can"t raise 10 players due to various commitments &/or would be otherwise be left out.

I think it should remain as teams of ten - that way you get a fairer representation of the team"s abilities as it irons out some variance issues.

I agree with this - even though it might make it more likely that I"d miss out on playing I"d say that having a structure with teams of 10 in is much more likely to give a better reflection of the "best" team.
Teams of 5 mean that a couple of people could have a bad day or a couple of people could have a good day and that would make the difference between first and last place (maybe a slight exaggeration - but only slight I think).
