Personally, I think that splitting teams is fine as long as the two halves have got enough members. From my opinion, 20 members is not enough to split them, since it's a number under the regular number of people in most school's classes.

This year I'll be taking part with Mandarin Chinese and with Russian. I would prefer to
be in a team for both - if that means I belong to two teams, then so be it. My Mandarin
is the closest thing to nothing it could possibly be without actually being at zero, and
my Russian is rusty from uni. That does not, however, mean my Russian was ever good.
Edit: This is not me being negative about my Russian, this is me being realistic.

Sure. I'll fix that right away. I was just waiting to see if we could get a proper team together first, but we look OK, so I will start the thread.

One thing: since there are already teams and even TAC'13 team threads, why don't 'applicants' go directly to the team threads and just report back so as not to clutter this thread too much? Maybe a little bit late anyway, but you get the idea... :)

I don't see any problem with cluttering. This thread is supposed to be for signing up and organizing teams, so I kind of expect it to be full of posts from people asking about joining and also various discussions about how to structure the teams and so on.
LanguageSponge: You are on the Russian team and the Asian team.
Russian team #1 is now filled and future applicants will be placed on Russian team #2. I imagine we will be able to fill both teams fairly nicely, but if it turns out that only a very few more people join, I might end up combining the teams in the end. Though judging from the number of people wanting on the Russian team last year and that it's only the second day of sign-ups, we might even need three Russian teams :-)
