Regardless as to how it is determined you should not plan to bring more than you are allowed because that might mean that another team does not have enough room to fit despite only bringing the allowed amount. When you take up more than your allotted share you do so by "stealing" part of another teams allotted share.
DING DING DING!

Many venues only have so many seats, so we have to make a limit to ensure everyone has a seat. Usually, it is capacity/teams, with a little fudge factor for volunteers/VIPs/stragglers/etc.
