I believe the answer you are looking for is that if one teams set up multiple games, then even as a few of them fill, there is one that is identical that takes its place, giving the illusion of the same game being there, for longer than it actually is

At least partly because new recruits can't join team games.

And as such take significantly longer to fill. Plus, not everybody plays many team games as it takes too much effort to set them up with your partners and such. And really, you need a long term partner if you want to win team games.

actually I think a lot of single people are able to win team games too.. marital status really doesnt come into play as far as I know

I had the impression - from back when Klobber was getting bashed in the forum - that Circus games always came up first and that was how Klobber was getting so many noobs to join his games. Apparently that's not the case at all. So what's the deal? Did they change that or something in response to the Klobber incident?

Circus games take longer to fill as few people play that map. As noobs can't see team games...
