Team organization

• The four-person limit is a requirement. There have been occassional requests to add a fifth person, generally because a school has additional interest but not enough students to field another team. Our response has been to not allow it. One reason is fairness and the perception of fairness. Another is that we have seen that groups of five are difficult to manage even for college students. It is difficult to ensure all five stay engaged, especially with the two-laptop limit.
