Ten soccer teams participated in two tournaments over two consecutive years. Each year, the tournament results were recorded in a table listing the positions of the teams from first to tenth place. A team is considered stable if there is at least one other team ranked lower than it in each of the two tables. What is the minimum and maximum number of stable teams that can result from the two tournaments?

### Examples for clarification:
- If one team occupies the tenth place in both tournaments, each of the remaining nine teams would meet the stability condition.
- If the teams are ranked in opposite orders in the two years, no team would meet the stability condition.
