I tend to agree with you Dude, but if you have a look at Premier Div nothing you do will gaurantee you parity. However the quality should go up. There should be a gap between each division and with clear divisions you will likely have a clear step up to the next division as opposed to having several teams in div 2. Take Maple Ridge/GEU for an example. Between all their teams in div 2 I am sure that you could make one fairly competive one. The flip side is that you have teams like the Celtic and the DFC Coachmen that are just a bunch of guys that want to play together.

It would be great if each Club had a Premier Team, Cat Team, 1st div and so on down the line full of players that simply wanted to play at the highest level possible. For some, at this stage for me, it isn't about proving what level you a capable of playing, it is simply about playing.

The way it is right now clearly it isn't about the best teams moving up or down. Years ago the team being relegated from Premier was often better than the team going up but that doesn't mean that the team going up didn't earn the right to go up. The set up now is clear and not really unfair, there is always the luck of the draw, win Div 2 and you get into a Playoff with a chance to advance. Thats not bad, if you don't win the Div then you got nothing to complain about.
