Field splits

I think the split into two groups should happen when there are 15+teams inscribed. 7-8 teams for a race feels like normal C4F nowdays, but 15+ is too much, too chaotic, not rewarding enough. Increases the sucker mentality because it's hard to deal with so many teams as a good willing team that want to ride for little chances.

Target should always be 10+ per race.
If it cannot be reached, either the game or the calendar are not managed well

We just got used to those undercrowded race editions. 10 Teams was shocking little back in the days, now seems a lot
sweet spot is 15-16 teams.

Back in the days, "sucking" wasn't as extraordinary as it is now. Dealing with 9 teams is annoying enough already now.
But it's also about the money and points...anything more than 10 becomes unfair in a positive/negative way..

In big fields the cooperation usually increases as well, not in your evening fields where the concentration of suckers is very high
But it is also currently an issue of bad times, there are races with 20 teams and the next edition has 4, not balanced in terms of times.
