The way that I currently view things, this is a competition.
In all competitions, you have strong teams and you have weak ones. The difference here, is that we pretty much all get along, we can all joke and have a good time with one another, and we can all agree that we enjoy the gaming side of things to boot.
Now regardless of what happens in regards to P+ players in this tier, I would like to think that there is a fair amount of sportsmanship that is going on. What this would mean, is that Team Captains/Managers would look the opposing team, and (hopefully!!) guess the line up that the team will be posting. They then decide who will be playing for them, not to 'snipe' matches, more so to provide some competitive games where they could go either way.
I know this has been the case for TA, Edarus attempts to line up matches where the league ranks are the same, ie Silver v. Silver.
If this is the case for the rest of the teams, then the P+ ruling shouldn't really worry the majority of the Tier clans/players.
