    I hear what you're saying. But there are also people saying that the numbers imbalance is discouraging them from participating. Several members of those three teams I've spoken to have mentioned that they are losing all motivation to participate in events outside of URPG (which has its own prizes and double pay on all battles, as well as a generally more balanced system for unbalanced numbers). Please don't keep talking about how alternatives are discouraging participation, this is discouraging participation because people feel like they have to overextend themselves due to lack of other people to do certain things, otherwise their team is forfeiting those sections without even trying.

    Now assume that we all went out recruiting. Assume we call a maximum difference of 5 people acceptable. That requires an additional 44 people. And that's still a five person disadvantage, assuming no one else joins Trainer. Assume we want complete equality. That requires an additional 29, for a total of 73 people. That's way too much to recruit even if we all spent the next three weeks trying.
