I don't really understand how the number of divisions plays into the discussion concerning promotion and relegation. The number of divisions is driven primarily by the number of teams. I guess the number of divisions could be driven by the political correctness to create more "Champions".

Hurst, agree they both have their pros and cons.

Hammer's comment kind of gets to my previous point about the my team vs my club comment. Currently a nucleus rule exists for the RIIIPL spots, and as explained to me, it's to afford those that earned it the opportunity to play in it, that way it's fair. Don't get me wrong, I don't necessarily disagree, but if a clubs team is made stronger at tryouts by transfers into the club, why should SC send a potentially weaker team?
