both 10 and 12 are really fucked up systems if you play 2vs2.
The chance that a 2vs2 match is played (based on prev tours) within a week is 50% and within 2 weeks 75%.
With 12 you can't do normal elimination (12 -> 6 -> 3 -> ??), same goes for 10, so if you want to use normal elimination system you need 8 or 16 teams. Well 16 teams is 32 players, which is also unlikely to happen.

Then you can use a group system. For 10, you can only split them up in 2x5.
That would mean that every team has to play 4 matches in the group, that means that 10 x 4 / 2 = 20 matches, only in the group so far, that would take you 1-2 months to finish and still 25% didn't play.
With 12 you can only do 2 x 6 or 3 x 4. 2x6 is even more matches 5x12/2=30 and 3x4 = 2 x 12/2= 12 matches. Then you have 4 teams left.

With 8 teams elimination, the amount of games you need to play to leave you with 4 teams is only 4. And even this tour takes long. So 12 means 3 times as long and 10 means 5 times as long. So if this tour would take 1,5 month with 8, it'll take 7,5 month with 12 teams.
That's the reason why I don't organize 2vs2 tours anymore.
