Sorry if it is obvious that 2 Cambridge couples cannot amalgamate with a smaller university to make a complete team for Warwick, I would not have enquired unless I thought it was possible. My understanding of the consitution below (2.1.4.4 and 2.1.4.5) would be a "Uni X-Cambridge" team could be formed for Warwick and then Uni X and Cambridge could return to independent status afterwards. I did ask the warwick organiser and Standing committee on 27th October about the possibility of amalgamated teams and the only reply I received was a positive one from the warwick organising committee. At that time there was a small university in need of an extra couple, but this has since fallen through.
"2.1.4.4 In the case where a small university can not enter a single team as an independent entry they may be allowed to amalgamate with other universities, following rules set out in section 2.8 under the names of those Higher Educational Establishments involved, and a single team captain would be elected. This rule does not preclude any university from returning to independent status at any time throughout the year if able to do so.
2.1.4.5 No competitor may compete for more than one Member Society's team in any academic year, except in the case of amalgamated teams."
I thought points 2.8.1.5.1 - 2.8.5.1.3 (below) would apply only for the IVDC new format team match as it discusses a second division. If this does apply to Warwick then the comp organiser and all of the standing committee certainly are not aware of the fact. I apologise if I was foolish and missed something obvious.
I would like to stress again that this was not suggested for any tactical reason and that it was never my intention to criticise anyone; apologies if it came across that way, I was merely stating what had happened that required the Cambridge couples to amalgamate. I am guilty only of wanting the opportunity to dance in my last Warwick team match.

"2.8.1.5.1 In the case that Member Societies have an incomplete A, B, C or D team, they may nominate couples or individuals to be part of an amalgamated team or teams. This shall be organised centrally by the standing committee. Couples or individuals shall only be joined into amalgamated teams once the member society has demonstrated to the satisfaction of the standing committee that:
1) All reasonable measures have been taken to fill the incomplete team from within the member society.
2) The incomplete team has no reasonable chance of making a round in the second division (or better).
3) The couples or individuals in question are part of an incomplete A, B, C or D team.
2.8.1.5.2 Nominations shall be submitted on or before the Wednesday preceding IVDC, though later inclusions may be made at the discretion of the Standing Committee. The Standing Committee shall consider all nominations and select couples or individuals for inclusion in Amalgamated Teams. Where possible, amalgamations shall be made according to geographical proximity and shall keep members of the same university in the same amalgamated team. The standing committee shall agree an appropriate name for the amalgamated teams with the relevant member societies.
2.8.1.5.3 Members of Amalgamated Teams may not dance for their Member Society for the duration of the Team Match and all their results will count only for the Amalgamated Team. No amalgamated team's results shall count towards an overall placing."
