Quite a number of xiangqi clubs need to tackle the following concerns before forming the teams :
(A) Is budget the main concern ?
(B) Is duration too long ?
(C) Is team size of 6 too big ?
Alternatively, the method of 2002年第三届直落亚逸芳林公园民众俱乐部象棋“七雄夺金马“一日循环团体赛(四人)赛制 should be studied in more details, e.g you can have A组七队，B组七队 to complete in one day of 3 rounds (文礼's schedule also has 3 rounds on the first Sunday, 16 Aug 2009), 四人， 五人 or 六人 (i.e. total of 八人， 十人 or 十二人 in two sub-teams each round, can have another few players as reserve) is not the main concern. The 七雄 in 2002 had learned the method.
For “七雄夺金马“ method, 九队 in 4 rounds and 十一队 in 5 rounds and we need to have 2 days only.
May be it is not too late for 文礼 to consider “七雄夺金马“ method as I believe more teams can join with one or two days.
