>Yeah, and my propositions above lessen the interaction between the 'top >flight' teams and the others. I'm not so keen on that. As a simple solution: you could start each league event with a giant crossover (top of div 1 plays bottom of div 2, 2nd in div 1 plays penultimate in div 2, etc.) This may be tedious for the top teams but it's only 1 game. Apart from giving less experience teams/players a chance to play more experienced people, it also gives scope for a lower seeded team to play a whole event in the top division if they play hard against a better team and win their cross over. If the 'better' teams are really better then the upset winners of the cross over should get relagated at the end of the same tournament, but have a wealth of experience they would otherwise have been deprived. I'm not saying this is what should be, but it's one solution.
