You have 4 divisions of 8 teams, but teams aren't permanently attached to any division.
Division A is the powerhouse division. Division B is the second tier. Division C is the third tier. Division D is the bottom tier.
The Division A teams play 7 games against Division A, 4 against B, 3 against C, and 2 against D. The other divisions similarly get stacked schedules. At the end of the season, 12 teams make the playoffs - 6 from Division A, 3 from B, 2 from C, and 1 from D.
Each season the top team in each division moves up two divisions and the bottom team moves down two divisions. The second-place team moves up a division and the 7th place team moves down a division.
The outcome is that you have a lot more games that are competitive, you create dynamic rivalries among strong teams, and rivalries ebb and flow as teams have up and down eras. Fans also get to see a wider variety of teams with their season tickets.
