This is basically my stance and why I -1 this suggestion as a whole. I don't think the sorting is perfect, but I don't agree that a separate league is the way of doing things. I'm sure there are team owners who wouldn't want the additional tier to work through as well. It eliminates the fast track to WL possibility.
As T2 brought up, you've got dots that are getting their 72 EQ so it really isn't that big of a disparity. We're talking Regional Pro here. It's a combination of teams that were demoted from National Pro (didn't make playoffs), teams that didn't make playoffs in Regional Pro, teams that didn't play in a meaningful Regional Pro league, and or teams coming up from Semi-Pro.
The disparity really isn't that bad. I've had multiple dots play in WL at that age.
