Fair enough, I agree in general with your comemnts - I'll take the beginner clause out.

Tim: two-uni combinations etc. will still suffer from the same problems - what if a 10 couple uni amalgamates with a 4-couple uni? It's also open to abuse by two small unis with one or two good couples, or even by, say, Bristol and Sheffield joining forces and disregarding the leftover couples.

I think the idea behind the odds team is to pick up the people for whom team cohesion is already irrelevant - then give them some semblance of cohesion and a chance of actually getting somewhere. A 1-couple novice team won't get anywhere, and will be pointless to enter, but a 4-couple novice odds team will be a lot more fun, without compromising anything else.
