Has the Back door become Redundant?

It could definitely do with some tweaking.
Format is getting quite stale.

The national leagues need to be trimmed down for less games - more divisions with less teams in each.

A division of 8 is pretty small as it is. I'd eliminate the finals and whatnot and have 3 divisions.

That'd make for a truly hopeless situation for D4 teams. They need league games against their equals more than anyone and they wouldn't get a half-decent shot at promotion that in that system. D4 and D3 as normal and a randomly mixed 1A/1B seems like the best way to give teams on the bubble the time against the best teams that they need to develop while ensuring the lower ranked teams are still getting a good chance at progression.

Makes the league semis very viable too.
