In fact, discussions held in 2006 (象总) and 2007 (义顺南) previously on 团体联赛, quite a number of teams having problems in joining the 团体联赛, personally, I do not see the current situations are better than 2006 and 2007, i.e. to have 团体联赛 for 4 days or more.
2007年义顺南人民协会脑力益智挑战象棋团体赛 only held in 2 days for most of the teams except the Top 4 teams to have one more day at suntec.
由于赛期较长,我会未能组队参加2003年武吉甘柏与2004年裕华的团体联赛。
We have done a review recently for the major competitions in the past 7 years and having the following suggestions, i.e. to limit the 团体联赛 or 团体赛 to maximum of 2 days.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Summary of suggestions : --
四人, 五人 or 六人 is not the main concern.

Hope that 文礼 has studied all the concerns ........
as mentioned in ....
团体联赛 after 10 years (1995 to 2004), why stop ? the reasons ..........

狮城杯 in 2004 and 2005 as mentioned above could be a better approach :
-- 2004年甘榜格南第一届狮城杯象棋团体赛 (A组八队,B组十四队,四人)
-- 2005年义顺南第二届狮城杯象棋团体赛 (A组八队,B组十队,四人)
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.
棋赛制度 do not need to change : --
----(1)采单循环制;
----(2)星期六下两场,星期日下三场;
----(3)每局八十分钟加三十秒,每位棋手下一局;
----(4) 棋赛规则与成绩计算采亚洲棋规。
棋手人数 depending on 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)
Also can consider A组 for 有级 (or no condition ?) and B组 for 无级 (and Grade B ?).
