Combined with the National League from USYS. In other regions, it is more significant than to many of us here on the west coast.

Here are all NPL clubs: https://usclubsoccer.org/npl/
Here are all National League clubs: https://www.thenationalleague.com/

One can assume every one of the NPL clubs, and every one of the National League clubs, is now magically part of "National 1 League". I'm sure there may be corner cases where some clubs dropped out and chose not to join for the year, and other cases where new clubs subscribed that were in neither prior. But that would happen (in small doses) every year for either of the preceding organizations as well.

Not true. I mentioned earlier that bottom 3 NPL teams may be "relegated" and National League teams with poor records and poor goal differential are not guaranteed. I know of one club that has 6 National League teams and the club was only pre-approved for 2 N1L spots.

I'm not sure you're understanding that it isn't new. That already happens with NPL. Bottom teams get relegated out of NPL and into Premier. It's not a new thing with this new league - it's always been in place. I imagine National League has always had similar mechanisms to boot low-performing teams/clubs. It's interesting that a club that has 6 teams, will be only given 2 slots - but my hunch is that they are likely some pretty weak teams.
