I think this discussion gives a good motivation for having
TWO SEASONS in the outdoor year.
In the first season people who wanted to could play for
their geo team and help it improve.
In the second season they could make their tactical switch
to a better team so as to be able to go to worlds.
Wouldn't this be good for British Ultimate?

p.s. the same system could also allow good university players to play
for their lame-ass university squad in the first season, and still 
play for a top notch team in the second.
And it would allow any women who wanted to to play for a mixed team
in one season (the first, say) and to play women only ultimate 
in the second season when all the big boys want to play in 
their top notch almost-men-only teams.
