Can't do any harm - but I'd estimate that at 50% of tournaments, a few people can't make it, so all the team line-ups would be shuffled around. Having said that, even when they do shuffle around, you should hopefully have partnerships you can rely on, and it would definitely be an improvement on what we do now. I'm so hoping to take 3-4 teams to the UK champs/London Open this year.
I had a (related) idea how to organise team practice - depending on turnout, we form teams according to your suggestions above. If a full line-up of your team is there, that's who you play with. If two of you are there, you form a team, but use a shrunken goal for your games. If only one of you are there, you join another team who has only one or two players... Seems like it could work? Downside is that it might mean to reduced goalkeeping practice sometimes, which is seemingly needed, but, no better ideas, so...
