New "veteran" teams, like 193 was last year (rookie #'s started at 4450 last year), are given new team numbers that are below this year's 4900, usually a never been assigned number that is close to any associated parent/sibling team number. None of these new teams are eligible for rookie awards of course.
This year we have 389 rookies eligible for awards and 10 new veteran teams not eligible for rookie awards.
Not eligible new teams:
265
746
1786
3134
3886
4413
5515
4416
4418
4524

This is really interesting. Thanks for sharing this information. Why is 5513 considered a non-rookie but has a higher number than 4900?
