Anyone have any thoughts on how to best run relegation/promotion scenarios?

I'm 13 seasons into a self-built relegation scenario, setup as follows:

MLB: 40 teams, plus AAA, AA and Single-A feeders. Worst team from AL and NL go down.
AAA PLB: 40 teams, plus AAA and AA feeders. Best team from PCL and IL go up (with a one-season grace period where they can't be relegated, although this surprisingly doesn't come into play very often) and worst team from PCL and IL go down.
AA Intermountain League: 24 teams, no feeders. Best team goes up with a one-season grace, worst team goes down.
AA Great River League: 24 teams, no feeders. Best team goes up, worst team goes down.
Single-A: 32 teams, no feeders. Best two teams go up with a one-season grace.

Outside of this universe I have college, Japan+one feeder and Venezuela, although I may get rid of the college league soon.

It worked great until I quit my successful MLB team and took over a PLB team. When I got promoted to the majors, I lost all my minor league affiliates —*and the players that were on them. Had to go into commissioner mode and give me my prospects back!

Anyone else have experience running promotion/relegation scenarios? Any thoughts, feedback or suggestions?
