Why do I get an 'access denied' message when I try to create a new team?

It could be one of two things:

• You are not a registered user or you have not logged in.

or:

• The site is not currently open for new team creation. There is only a small window each year when users can create new teams. This is normally about one month, just before the start of the season. After that, the competition is under way and users can no longer create or edit teams.
