Here's a little proposal. In the WGI/IPA (Indiana Percussion Associtaion) world, there are these things called promotions. A promotion is when your drumline/color guard is too good for the class they are in. So they get promoted to the next class up. Basically it's when at one competition there is a D3/D2 guard/drumline that stomps second place by at least 5 points. So they get an award and a promotion to perform in the next class up. Just a suggestion to make this feel more realistic. I am addicted to this website.

You do get promoted! At the start of every season there is a mysterious algorithm that determines how you are placed into a division. It does weigh your past season stats into the placement but nobody can be sure. But you do get promoted!

I mean mid season not and the very beginning.
