This isn't a spoiler Zweibel because it is listed somewhere but I don't remember where. I'm sure someone will know and post it here.

The list is the number of suspects with false alibis. If rugby wants the number of people per case level then of course there is more ;-)

I've bookmarked this post as a handy summary of the information, but the two sets of information in are a bit inconvenient to match up. So I've pulled them together here for easier viewing:

Difficulty | Total suspects | Suspects with False Alibis
--------------------------------------------------------------
Beginner | 5-6 | 2-3
Easy | 5-6 | 3
Intermediate | 6-7 | 3-4
Hard | 7-8 | 3-4
Really Hard | 7-8 | 4
Really Really Hard | 8-9 | 5
Incredibly Hard | 8-9 | 5
Stupendously Hard | 9-10 | 6
Ridiculously Hard | 10-11 | 7
Almost Impossible | 10-11 | 7

Turtledove is referring to the number of suspects with false alibis. Mystie's list is dealing with the total number of suspects possible in a case, real and false. And Lockhelm gave you a summary of both. (Ergo, the possible confusion for some. All of the above are accurate. ;-)
