The higher points a platinum association has, the higher the chance the association would be paired with those more points too.
Therefore, a 5* team would be likely to have a higher chance to draw difficult opponents (90%+ are 6* teams or above), plus the additional chance of being paired with even tougher opponents with high points total.
Therefore, a 5* team could still be promoted to platinum, but would find draws becoming too tough to stay in that division. That is normal. Having a 6* team would have a better chance to stay as the chance of drawing similar 6* teams is a lot higher.
And actually your association could try to manipulate the match-up pairing by having the worst quality team to place the best first-11 and the best placing the worst. It could then match your best with their worst, and so on. Obviously the worst team would still lose, but then the best team would have a fighting chance. It still comes down to how competitive the association members are when it comes to beating opponents of up to 20% better.
