Since all devices are reachable using either net mask, it's not clear to me why it would make a difference, but I noticed on another thread that it did make a difference. Compare the net masks using both static and DHCP.
By the way, on my home router, it does not appear to be possible to change the net mask sent out in the DHCPOFFER/DHCPACK to anything less then /24 (255.255.255.0).

As long as all the devices that you want to access that begin with "10." will always also always have your team number, "xx.yy.", then the subnet can be either /8 or /24 and work fine.
