Portal Conquest 20 player lobby requirement is unachievable

It would be good if this could be implemented as said above, even a response from someone in the know to say  we are looking at these type of comments and are working to make portal as close to 2042 rule set would be appreciated as well. 

It really hampers starting a server for smaller clans that must have 8 people waiting to start at a given time just to get portal server up amd running for others to join.
