pajaroI have a lot of problems with how the RGL staff functions in general, and also on a division basis. That being said, I just cannot understand the rationale behind being upset about being last-minute moved up based on your team's experience or the higher div needing another team. Highlander teams usually scrim 5 times a week, the only thing changing for you is that 1 hour of that 5 hours of practice is probably going to be a loss. Someone has to lose the match, and there's always gonna be a team at the bottom of the leaderboard. Sure you have that season, but its barely taking up any of your time, and you can choose who you scrim. And if you care that much about winning, if you work hard, any moveup can get better and take a couple hard-earned wins in a higher div, or get asked to play on a better team if you out-improve your team. Only the ones that truly give up will go 0-7 every time. Like, it is a competitive league and if you just wanted to stay in a division lower than where the admins decided you belong, then you should expect to not be allowed to do so.

In other words, we are pushing teams up to be the punching bag for upper division teams. How does this bring competitive value to the league?

Are you saying if you got moved up to Advance from Main, you can just scrim main teams and just take the loss on match day? I'm sorry, but if your team can only compete in the division below then maybe you should be in that div? Call me crazy.
And if you care that much about winning, if you work hard, any moveup can get better and take a couple hard-earned wins in a higher div, or get asked to play on a better team if you out-improve your team.
I think improving to the point of being able to have someone else cut their main rostered player for you is insane. Teams are not always worried about having who is "best" cause that is always subjective. I imagine that these players that out-improve their team will just end up as subs on better teams.
