This is a discussion @Andre and I get into every once in a while. Having a set standard one team size. Thinking about the champions league and a lot of the issues I see they are gonna have having a set team size could fix a lot of this.
Every time a division has a different size (small and large) you cut in half the amount of teams that would compete in that division. As well scoring has to drastically change because there are little to no set expectations. I think there is something around 63 divisions because of all the sized and cross multiplications. That's a lot of divisions. What does having all those divisions mean? Mega events get really large because you are guaranteed competition and small niche events will stick around for public practice but you are probably combining some divisions to find competition. The middle tier event now goes away because that size require travel and expenses, but no one wants to pay the same amount of money for one team in their division.
So, the answer is make all team sizes max 24. Have an all girl, small coed (5 boys max) and large coed (12 boys max). By doing that the amount of competition that exists would grow. Also competitions like the champions league become a lot more feasible. While everyone will enjoy seeing their favorite teams compete, from a scoring standpoint that thing is gonna be a hot mess.
