I may actually give this satellite a go tonight. I don't have an account at that site, but it seems like it would be a fun event (and I like doing charity gigs), so I'll download the software later

Hi guys , would love to be involved with any team, i try to sat into games and best result was 3rd in the sunday night primo. Got a want to play but cant play situation right now as i am getting heart surgery in a few weeks time and i must be the only person in the world not to be signed off work by the doc but signed off playing Poker as the rush was getting the old ticker going crazy and was causing me pain !!lol but true. Hope to be playing again from March, i have been at the last 3 spt tours and will try and get to any future one but again i am not allowed to try and get to Nottingham. So please guys, if anyone has played a better sympathy card than this pick them, trouble is mine is a true one. regards, art.

I didn't really want to wade in and post an opinion on this, because I usually keep my mouth shut
...but I'm on my lunch break, so figured I'd chuck in my thoughts.
Yes, it would make perfect sense for all teams to have the same number of participants. Eleven players on a football team; five players on a basketball team; fifteen players in a rugby squad. You don't have an imbalance there because, well... as you have alluded to - correctly, to some degree - it just isn't fair, is it?
And if this was a serious contest, I would agree. One hundred percent. Each team would be capped at (for instance) thirty members; rules would be set; penalties would be implemented for missing games; etc, etc.
But - for me at least - DTD, and more broadly, the function of each team, has never been about that. I'm a relatively new member of The HitSquad. Did I join because I thought they were the best team on Sky, with the biggest clout? No (sorry Dave!). Did I join because I thought they could help advance my game further than any other? No again. I joined because there was a core group of guys and girls that seemed to enjoy their games, and I thought it would be good to get to know a few of these people a little better. Forum friendship, if you like.
It would be relatively simple to implement a more rigid form of team-based competition, but the problem you will have is that - and somebody correct me if I'm speaking out of turn here - most forum regulars on Sky would rather a relaxed, no-strings, form of contest than a regimented league/ladder format, as you have alluded to. There are plenty of tournaments on every evening that takes care of serious competition.
This is just a bit of fun on the side, and we all like some of that
