Do they put it "on hold' in case the team decides to return? Thanks in advance!
P.S. I know that team numbers were assigned permenantly a number of years back...how were the numbers assigned to the teams that joined prior to that?

Every time a new team registers they get the next sequential number. It is their number forever. If they drop out, it is not re-used. So every number up to the highest (what is the highest now?) has been assigned, and those that you haven't seen are teams that have dropped out for some reason or another.
