The following are recommended head counts by table. Preference is to typically stack higher head counts on the highest rated tables. When table counts exceed five preference is to place higher count on lowest rated tables. 7 tables requires two in the meeting room. Depending on skill levels, you might favor fewer tables with more on a table so as to get from 7 tables to 6 tables.
When a table has six or more players, the matches are 2 out of 3 games; 3 out of 5 just takes too long for a Monday night and the intermatch waits, even though balanced, are long.
