Yeah you are right - the five is meant to include a non-playing captain (or four with a playing captain).
I'm sure at some point I saw a team play five, but maybe the rules have changed.

Yeh thought so, can remember once or twice in the past couple of year with the American team they have Roddick and Blake play singles with the Bryan brothers in doubles and when the tie is wrapped up either way one of the Bryan brothers has been known to play singles even though there would have been Querrey or Ginepri in the squad as the reserve or hitting partner.

marcuss, you'll need to submit your preferences for the rest of the season using the template here: http://www.cricketweb.net/forum/1960308-post2033.html
You'll probably want to target the Challenger tournaments for now.

WORLD GROUP PLAY-OFFS - DAY THREE
Oxenstierna, Drake complete 5-0 rout
CWLand rubbed further salt into German wounds in Bremen as their top two players both won dead rubbers to secure an emphatic 5-0 victory in the Davis Cup World Group play-offs. World No. 6 Sven Oxenstierna started things off by taking a tight straight sets victory over Becker Haas; his coolness in the tense moments of each set proving the difference as he disappointed the home crowd by securing a 6-4, 7-6(5) win. Jefferson Drake continues to struggle in Davis Cup fixtures, but did enough to improve his record to 3-1 with a 7-6(5), 4-6, 6-2 win over a brave Alex Peters.
In the only live fixtures of the day, Romania sealed their spot in the World Group thanks to a 4-6, 6-4, 6-1, 3-6, 9-7 victory to Bogdan Maurer against the Illya Altman-less Ukraine's Viktor Vuriak; Belgium's Yves Parmentier secured a 3-2 win over France in his straight sets thumping of Pierre L'Estrange in Strasbourg; Henry Charles smashed Tal Cohen to hand Great Britain an unassailable 3-1 lead over Israel and Akihiko Veno prevailed in five sets against veteran Thomas Velten to help Japan to a 3-2 win in Apeldoorn.

Stage set for Russian-Serbian showdown
Serbia have completed perhaps the biggest upset of this season in team tennis after Danijel Micic again shone to help the unseeded Europeans into December's Davis Cup final. Needing just one victory from Sunday's reverse singles rubbers, world No. 4 Radivoj Daneu attempted to do what his compatriot did on Friday by beating world No. 1 Jason Hall. But in a five set thriller, the Hamburg and Estoril champion shook off poor second and third sets to keep Team USA's hopes alive heading into the fifth and final rubber with a 6-3, 2-6, 4-6, 7-6(5), 7-5 win. But Micic, who has performed superbly for Serbia in the Davis Cup this season, was not about to be part of a side that gave up a 2-0 lead as he crushed Dwayne Murdoch in straight sets. In cruel reversal of fortune, Murdoch dropped his second point of the tie as a fired-up Micic secured a 6-4, 7-6(8), 6-1 win.
In Moscow, Russia secured the one point they needed in the day's first reverse singles match to book their place in the final. No. 1 Dmitry Orlov dominated Austrian Heinz Hainisch in straight sets to set the local crowd alight with some ruthless tennis. The Russians have been quiet achievers in an admittedly weaker top half of the draw, and they completed a 4-1 rout as Gregor Gorshkov edged a three-set match with Martin Reiter 6-2, 3-6, 6-4.

Metz
Rivers' run to the main draw saw him defeat Kim Roger Olsen (6-4, 7-6(5), Marco Masi (6-4, 7-5) and Lee Inmin (3-6, 7-5, 6-2; came back from 2-5 in the second). Singh defeated Thomas Cartwright (6-4, 4-6, 6-3), Dieter Bonhof (3-6, 6-2, 6-3) and then Franck Brunet (6-3, 6-4).
Rivers has a very winnable first round match with the man who stunned Becker Haas in Nixonstown, David Lebègue. Singh, meanwhile, faces Austrian Heinz Hainisch in a much tougher clash. Bowenburg has arguably the easiest run of the three with Jean-Christophe Genghini first up and then probably Morgan Carter in the second round. Not easy, but not impossible.
In the doubles draw, Singh and Gurpreet Rao have a tough first round match with fourth seeds Mikel Fosdike & Christian Mary.
Bucharest
Smeltz gets a tricky first round match with José Navarro, but after that has it easier with probably Andueza in the second round and a quarterfinal showdown with Bachunelli looming large. Got fourth seed Micic in his half which is probably a worse draw than Emelio would have been. Maxum should beat doubles specialist Viorel Iftime first up, but might struggle against Bachunelli/Gorshkov. Hancianu should beat former French Open runner up Thomas Velten comfortably, and is a real shot at a semifinal if all goes well.
This week's Challenger is in Mons, Belgium with Delev, Bre and Deane all earning direct entries. Delev is seeded one and should crush wildcard Philippe Davide first round with a view to face talented Slovak Mario Timko in the quarters. Deane has received a pretty dream run if he performs; wildcard Yannick Lefèvre is his first round opponent, whilst potential second round opponent Ivan Vuka withdrew injured to be replaced by Sweden's Patrik Boman. In the bottom half, Bre draws Italian qualifier Maurizio Barbini in a must-win clash, before eighth seed Andy Russell awaits in the second round (or Jack Griffen).
Rivers' run to the main draw saw him defeat Kim Roger Olsen (6-4, 7-6(5), Marco Masi (6-4, 7-5) and Lee Inmin (3-6, 7-5, 6-2; came back from 2-5 in the second). Singh defeated Thomas Cartwright (6-4, 4-6, 6-3), Dieter Bonhof (3-6, 6-2, 6-3) and then Franck Brunet (6-3, 6-4).
Rivers has a very winnable first round match with the man who stunned Becker Haas in Nixonstown, David Lebègue. Singh, meanwhile, faces Austrian Heinz Hainisch in a much tougher clash. Bowenburg has arguably the easiest run of the three with Jean-Christophe Genghini first up and then probably Morgan Carter in the second round. Not easy, but not impossible.
In the doubles draw, Singh and Gurpreet Rao have a tough first round match with fourth seeds Mikel Fosdike & Christian Mary.
Bucharest
Smeltz gets a tricky first round match with José Navarro, but after that has it easier with probably Andueza in the second round and a quarterfinal showdown with Bachunelli looming large. Got fourth seed Micic in his half which is probably a worse draw than Emelio would have been. Maxum should beat doubles specialist Viorel Iftime first up, but might struggle against Bachunelli/Gorshkov. Hancianu should beat former French Open runner up Thomas Velten comfortably, and is a real shot at a semifinal if all goes well.

- Rob Bowenburg has started his charge towards of the end of the season in positive style by crushing local Jean-Christophe Genghini in the first round in Metz. Genghini looked to join four other countrymen in the second round of his home tournament, but found himself outgunned by the world No. 61 who dominated from the very start to surge to a 6-1, 6-1 win. Bowenburg's victory sees him set up a second round clash with Croatia's Nilikar Midid who upset sixth seed Morgan Carter in straight sets.
- Meanwhile, Scotland Rivers will face seeded opposition after coming from a set down to beat France's David Lebègue. Both men made massive runs at the CW Open, but it was the local who got the jump on Rivers to take the first set 6-4. But Rivers was not to be beaten that easily as he continued his push towards the top hundred with a confident finish to the match as he ran out a 4-6, 6-3, 6-0 victor. Zhijun Sun, a fellow Nixonstown third rounder, awaits in the second round.
- QualifierSuryakant Singh fell agonisingly short in his first round clash with Heinz Hainisch as he bowed out in three sets. The Austrian bested Singh in the crunch moments of the match; his experience a telling factor as Singh struggled to keep his cool on service at the conclusion of the first and third sets. With his fourth double fault of an error-ridden third set, Singh gave up service and the match as Hainisch secured a 7-5, 6-7(8), 7-5 win.
- Joining Carter on the sidelines was Li Wang who was outgunned by Norway's Tom Vollan. The fifth serve had his service broken just once, but failed to convert his sole break point on the Norwegian's service as he collapsed to a 7-6(5), 7-5 defeat. Vollan's brother Kim faces Russian Dmitry Orlov in what is easily the match of the second round.
- Seeded players out:
Morgan Carter;
Li Wang.
1st Round - Bucharest (Romania) - Clay
Men's Singles (Seeds - Finals - Top Half - Bottom Half)
Men's Doubles (Draw)
- Top seed Randy Smeltz looks in ominous form in Bucharest after destroying Peruvian No. 1 José Navarro in just fifty minutes in a dominant performance in his return to clay. The world No. 19 made just three unforced errors in his awesome display; smashing the former world No. 29 in straight sets 6-1, 6-0.
- Elsewhere, Jarkko Maxum also impressed in his 6-3, 6-1 thrashing of wildcard Viorel Iftime. Whilst it was an expected victory, Maxum was clinical and it was an example of how much he has improved over the past months as he dispatched the doubles specialist. Now ranked a career high 65 in the world, Maxum will test himself against the world's best as sixth seed Antonio Bachunelli awaits in the round of 16.
- Finally, fifth seed Jamee Hancianu survived a tough warmup in his first round match as he defeated 34-year old qualifier Thomas Velten in nearly an hour and a half. The 2001 French Open finalist has not been a factor on tour this season, but he used his experience to push the teenage sensation deep into two sets. But he lacked the fitness and skills he once had, and could not pull off a fairytale win as Hancianu set about restoring his form with a 6-4, 7-6(3) win. The former world No. 25 has suffered a drop in form since the transition to the hard courts, but faces a decent draw to rectify that in the place of his birth. Fellow Romanian Bogdan Maurer awaits in the second round.
- It was a good day for the Romanians as unknown wildcard George Costea stunned Austria's Zbiginiew Boniek in straight sets. Boniek had beaten world No. 40 Dmitry Orlov in straight sets just days earlier, but was thrashed by the unranked local 7-6(3), 6-4. In another blow to his indifferent season, second seed Davis Kennedy was also ousted in the first round; Turkey's Aksu Emrem stealing a 6-4, 2-6, 7-5. Danijel Micic, just days from helping Serbia to a Davis Cup showed his unpredictableness as he was forced to come from a set down to beat Viktor Vuriak.
- Seeded players out:
Davis Kennedy.
1st Round - Mons (Belgium) - Indoor Hard
Men's Singles (Seeds - Finals - Top Half - Bottom Half)
Men's Doubles (Draw)
- In Belgium, top seed Spas Delev was made to work for his victory over wildcard Phillippe Davide. Davide broke service twice, but was little more than a nuisance on his own serve as Delev comfortably controlled the match despite the scares the Belgian provided. The 6-4, 6-4 win sets up a second round clash with Polish journeyman Pawel Wisniewski after he beat Dutch qualifier Nick De Koning 6-4, 6-1.
- Marcuss Deane had given himself a chance of a quarterfinal after smashing local wildcard Yannick Lefèvre in straight sets. In his most confident performance to date, the tall Brit fired down nine aces and double the winners of his Belgian opponent to claim a confident 6-1, 6-3 win. He faces Swedish lucky loser Patrik Boman in the second round, and will head in as favourite after looking more at home on the faster courts of Mons.
- Matt Bre was forced to come from a set down against Maurizio Barbini to advance to the second round, but will take everything he can as he continues his ascent up the rankings. A slow-starting Bre dropped the first set to the match-fit qualifier, but overcame his tentative start to find his rhythm and a 4-6, 6-1, 6-3 win. His second round draw sees him face eighth seed Andy Russell; whilst tough it is not an impossible match for the world No. 174.
- Seeded players out:
Ivan Vuka (withdrew with ankle injury)
