The System used in 雅柏广场团体赛 and 白沙东象棋团体赛 -- to invite views
This system has been used for a few years, with N teams, we need N*(N-1) players to play at the same time.
In these few months, the system used/will be used in :
8 Sep 2007 at Kolam Ayer with 6 teams, 6x5 = 30 players
23 Sep 2007 at 雅柏广场 with 10 teams, 10x9 = 90 players
18 Nov 2007 at 白沙东 C.C. with 11 teams, 11x10 = 110 players
Team has expressed concern to fill up 9 members per team (max 12 members per team) for the coming 雅柏广场 team event, the 白沙东 C.C.team event would have more cencerns.
If the organiser plans to have 90, 100, 110 or even 120 players to play at the same, may be an alternative should be looked into for future years.
e.g. for 100 players, we could have 20 teams of 5 players each to play at the same time, etc ... and the clubs could send 1, 2, 3 or even 4 teams depending on number of the players to be sent, so we need to have between 5 to 20 clubs depending on the number of teams sent by each club.

Can you explain the concerns about filling up 9 players?
Are you saying that teams have difficulties trying to find enough players from their club to fill up the places?
