Part of the logistics depends on equipment, part on space. I have a table-top and set of 500 relatively decent chips that we could use, but one set is only enough for around 8 players.
I think multi-table tournaments are really fun--but they require access to more than one table and probably more than one set of chips. I have an excel spreadsheet that allows easy calculations for combining chip sets, calculating starting stacks, etc.
If someone has a house with two tables and lots of chairs--like a dining-room and a kitchen or some such thing--then we could probably accommodate 16 players. Recognizing of course that poker night tends to have a high rate of last-minute bailouts--so if you invite 20 for any given night, you might get 12-15 anyway.
