I'm sure gmo will offer his own thoughts on the matter, but I can say that any time you have a league where the divisions have differing numbers of teams in them it greatly complicates things (unless it's a balanced schedule). A divisionally weighted schedule with a division containing an odd number of teams complicates things, because there's always going to be at least one team in the division who will have to be playing an interdivisional series. This means a lot more to track and figure out.

Tossing in a division which has more teams than another adds another level of complexity, and then adding in interleague on top of that adds yet another level.

After one has banged one's head against the wall trying to figure out a situation like that, one quickly pines for the old days of two 8 team leagues... they're SO much easier to deal with...
