That 14/30 teams rule is not a rule by the game, but a result of people figuring out how to maximise league visibility due to the way the game sorts matching leagues to be displayed. It doesn't mean you have to have that number, just it's the one most likely to give best results within the scope of other factors (race settings, race day and time selection, league language).

Agreed.
Same disaster in my League!!! No solution..
Fake accounts are not the solution!....
I’m gonna quit the game after more than a year playing in an awesome league and community... big shame
What should be the solution then? There is a set number of new players and a set number of leagues with a set number of Rookies present. If the number of new entries, plus the comparatively rather low number relegating from Pro, is lower than the number of Rookies promoting and kicked for inactivity then the number of Rookies in leagues will be dwindling. That's how it is, so what could be done?
Well there is one thing and most mobile games would offer it: Pay money for VIP status for prioritized selection and/or advertising a league. Not something I'd look forward to see in the game, despite being aware of and understanding the fact that a game needs to earn money in order to be run and developed. Also it just adds another factor of natural selection ensuring the ones willing to pay are more likely to stay healthy, as long as they don't grow too much in number as well.
Another possibility might be an old suggestion to have 2 types of leagues. One like now and another being Elite only, like starting as a single tier but with enough players being able to split into up to 3 again but all Elite rated for entry and level rules (no ballast), either ladder style premier, 2nd and 3rd Elite or pyramid premier and two parallel 2nd Elites. Not sure if it would work out except for a few high profile leagues, though. But if it does it would remove some leagues from the Rookie pool by them concentrating on their Elite game.
Edit: Also I was made aware I forgot something. In the first iteration of the league filter fix the game displayed leagues racing 19:00 and 19:30 GMT per preset. Until this was fixed to show leagues racing around the clock (not yet perfectly so in their race time I think) those leagues were really flooded with new entries for a few weeks and some here fit into that time spot. Now after the latest fix those leagues are facing the same reality as everyone else.
