[BD] Squad Sizes

[John Hope]

There already is a limit on squad sizes. It's 14 players _minimum_
(For competitions where these rules are used)

Appendix B: WFDF Additional Championship Event Rules

B1. Teams
B1.1. A team must have a minimum of fourteen (14) players registered
on its playing roster for the
event.
B1.1.1. A team in the mixed division must also have a minimum of six
(6) male and six (6)
female players on its roster.
B1.2. A team may have a maximum of twenty-eight (28) players on its roster.
B1.2.1. For 2008 only, the maximum number of players will be thirty-two (32).

I really see no value in forcing a smaller squad. If a player isn't
getting enough pitch time and that really matters to them... play for
a different team?
