This is because essentially Tier 5 and 4 are more about individual leagues - rather than a series of connected leagues... for a team to be promoted from Tier 5 to Tier 4 - their players need to promote in league.

It would suck to be the bronze player dragged up by a strong gold/plat line up in tier 5 and promoted into tier 4 - only to be dominated by diamond and master league players. Also, inactivity is high in BSG level tournaments.. Team line ups can change drastically from season to season. So having a team promoted - only the be totally changed the next season doesn't make much sense...

The Tier 4 and 5 competition is about improvement - as we individually improve at different rates and to different heights, this format allows players to make the jump to higher tiers (if their clan can field the team) at their own rate.
