Vanessa,
I have had small classes before and still use TBL with some modifications. The beauty of TBL is the attitude I try to express using it. I really care about the success of my students and with the correct introduction of TBL, the students are excited to make it work because they take ownership of it and want it to work. They have not had that kind of input so far in their education.
So even small groups turn into teams and work hard to learn.
Sincerely,

Subject: Anyone only had 2 teams in class?
Hello Fellow TBLers,
In one of my graduate classes, only 8 students have enrolled. I am thinking of having two teams with 4 students each. I'm reluctant to divide up the class further since the teams would already be smaller than the TBL ideal.
Have you found that 2 teams generated good inter-team discussion for the group activities?
Best,
Vanessa
