"How did you choose the ships?" We don't! Everyone is free to sign up for whatever ship they'd like.

"Is there a limit on the number of teams that can be set up this year?" Not at the moment! It's possible we'll have to impose a participant cap if a lot of people rush us out of nowhere, but that's not looking likely.

"I want to confirm: will the teams remain the same for all the main rounds?" Yes.
