CSM Maynard,
Two times the number of males in line. (Sorry, couldn't resist.)
I think eight is optimal. Ten is too many because you'll be bumping up against the 2-hour time limit, depending on how slow the instruction-reader reads and demonstrates.
Fewer than eight means less time to relax and hydrate between events.

SPC Thundercloud, you have to take into account collateral damage from IED strikes!! I knew a guy that lost one due that very scenario!
I have to admit though, that was the best response I have seen all day and it did make me laugh! For that I thank you.

CSM, the FM states it should be a 1:8 ratio for graders. Anything over 1:11 would surpass the maximum 20 minute rest period for certain Soldiers.
While it isn't always feasible I believe 1:6 is ideal because it allows for immediate transition between events. When number six finishes push-ups number one has had a ten minute break and can begin sit-ups.

SPC K.,
A-34 says, "One event scorer for every eight Soldiers being tested." You can Ctrl-F for that or, better yet, read FM 7-22.
