5 team, if you are going to have around 20 people you might want to get one more person and have three different tables with 7 people each. (or 8 per table - IMO 10 is too many) Have increments (either hourly or by # of hands) and raise blinds. As you raise the blinds people will will start getting eliminated. Gradually consolidate everybody down to two and then the final table. Just make sure tables are balanced with as the same amount of people or as close to as possible.
