 A: It isn't purely random chaos. The system assigns remaining members to teams specifically to keep the team under the Skill Cap. It tries to balance the league so every team has a fighting chance.

 <html><a name="ref15"></a></html>== Q: How many teams will be setup, and what will be the team size? ==
 A: The number of teams and the teams size will depend on the number of players registered. We are aiming at 5-7 players per team, and an even number of teams. In order to avoid leaving registered players out, the number of players per team may vary slightly (+-1).
+<html><a name="ref16"></a></html>== Q: Can we replace a team member who is unable to contribute? ==
+A: Direct transfers between teams are complicated, so we won’t be moving members from one team to another. However, during the mid-season break, teams may add one additional member to compensate for a non-contributing member.
