bluzgolf: If the CC was established before the limits were implemented, they kept their member numbers regardless of level of CC.
For instance, when it first was implemented many clubs already had over 200 members. The CC was not knocked down to level one limits even though all CC's at that point were level one.

To be more precise, the former conditions had CC sizes controlled by different one-time payments of the owners. IIRC, limitations of 15, 50, (150?), 250 were possible and stayed unchanged with the CC level system.
