I'm going to try to hold back the tide of these threads this season. If you want to discuss, guess, ask, or anything about how many teams, what teams, the caps, etc., just post here.
Just so you know, you won't get an "official" answer from Bort or any other Admin until they figure it out, at which point, there will be an official announcement on the home page.
No, no one will know until then. I won't know, another Mod won't know, another Admin won't know. But feel free to discuss here and ONLY here.
All other threads will be locked/deleted and repeat offenders will be subject to suspension.

Mini-FAQ:
How many teams are coming this sesaon?
No one knows yet, Bort will announce how many (if any) will be released and when.
How do I guarantee myself a level-capped team?
Set your settings for any league which does not exist yet. Then, when the announcement is made, adjust your settings to the league you actually want.
How do I guarantee myself a non-capped team?
Set your settings for a league which already does exist and does not have a cap
I was spot X on the list yesterday, now I'm spot X+50. What gives?
That means your account is less than 30 days old. If you have been here more than 30 days, you get preferential treatment over people who are still newer. Basically, it's to try to keep people from owning a team who are WAY too inexperienced to possibly handle it and force people to actually be here for most of a season and learn a thing or 2 before owning a team, something which effects many other Agents in the game.
Don't worry, as soon as you hit 30 days, you'll stop moving backwards on the list and will get your team soon enough. And if enough teams become available, you may get it sooner, anyway!
Why doesn't Bort announce the teams being released now? I need time to plan!
He doesn't want to either release too few teams (leaving wanting owners stuck waiting) or too many teams (flooding the market and causing all the new teams to not have enough players), so he waits until he can find a good middle ground and see where demand really is towards the end of the season. Also, he needs to make sure to have the server capacity in place and set up for more sims to run every day.
When will the new teams be released?
New teams are usually released early in the off-season
Are there going to be level caps on the new leagues? What will it be?
Probably, but I have no idea what the cap will be. Most of the time, it's been level 13 for new leagues (slowly raising from there through the season), but there have been ideas to have even lower leagues start with lower caps (level 7-8). Basically, we'll know when Bort and DD decide.
Will add to this as common questions are asked/answered
