Chinese First Division Keeps Expanding

[chisholml23]

Hey there. So I have a somewhat odd question. Has anyone ever come across a glitch or an issue where the league continually expands every season? A friend and I have been playing a Chinese online game for three seasons and every season the Chinese First Division has expanded by one team.

Season 1 - 17 teams
Season 2 - 18 teams
Season 3 - 19 teams

Is this intentional or is this some sort of glitch you've experienced before? Any ideas if this will ever stop or why it is happening?

Thanks in advance.
