    Seeing as though we'll likely get about 120 (at least) dudes/dudettes per this years contest..

    How many do you think we should have per team... stay at 4? Or increase to 5 or even 6 per team?

    I like chatter.. a little participation.. 4 guys/gals just isn't enough.. I think 6 should be in order.. minimum for this year.

    What say you?

    I like more per team too, 10 wouldn't bother me. That would make approx. 12 teams. That makes for some good competition.

    And it would help out the chumpions too. Take a little pressure off of each of em and give em a little help.:rolleyes:

    The anticipation of another whoopin has obviously burrowed in and is festering on the non-worthy bh.comers...

    Everyone is always trying to bring the champs down..... "Since we can't beat em, let's water their team down!" :eek: :D ;)

    ten sounds good.

    If you add more people per team, what will happen to the champs, stay at there original # of people

    I like the idea of 6-8 guys on a team. It's enough that you can have some decent banter, but it's still personal.

    If the tally comes to 120, 12 teams of ten would work but how about 20 teams of 6?

    More teams, more banter, etc...

    Won't bother me either way. I'm in for the fun and camaraderie.

    I may be alone in this but I'm a big fan of the smaller teams like 6-8 guys or so...

    Yes we're all aware of your chatter, less guys per team leaves less chance that I have to hear it all year. :D >>>BAM<<<

    I'd like to see larger teams too.... Even with 10 hunters per team we'd be around a dozen teams - IMO - still enough teams to make things interesting but maximize team activity/comradeship....

    Another vote for 6 here... enough that SOMEONE on your team ought to be chattin' it up a bit, but not so much that you feel like just a number on the team. By staying at 6, each individual member's contribution is still pretty important.

    When you raise it to 10, there'll be a LOT of teams that will have multiple members not score and they'll honestly still be in the hunt to take first; therefore, individuals could feel less important or less a part of the whole contest.

    Agree! But what do we do with the Champs? Will they get the additional team members? Do they want them? This would be the only issue I see.

    I think 8-10 per team would be a good number.

    They would have to earn the title of champion.... It's like signing with the superbowl champs in the offseason AFTER they won the big game.... "They" are returning champs "you" are just part of the team! :p

    They will be the most despised members on this website, for going over to the dark side that is ;)
