I am learning more and more about the higher levels and have been told that because there are not enough higher level teams, they end up dropping down a few levels to a league where they might fit in.

5 level difference is quite a difference and I dont see that even in the Cups. Maybe there are other leagues out there that have level differentials like this, but I dont see them on here at all.

Maybe one of the higher level members can give his opinion and/or possible explanation.
