Something I really like about this is that it's a win for capitalism.
The modern sports league formats (often considered the american style but in reality seen throughout the world), are a more socialist style model, with salary caps etc, and guaranteed participation regardless of performance. And they bring the typical socialist problems - hypocrisy and greed at the leadership level. 
It's great that football fans reject that, and really value merit-based participation.
