As is, the sweet spot for TSB is silver. In silver, resources can be farmed and bonus players can be maxed out without much thought. At gold(and beyond), resources become a huge burden and must be carefully considered. As a whole, the club events are much easier in the lower levels than their more 'advanced' counterparts. I'm currently in silver and although I'd love the idea of moving forward to gold, there's absolutely no incentive to do so.
I propose that higher level(silver/gold/plat/diamond) should get multipliers for club events. This would encourage teams to move up and give us some much needed variety. It would also add a nice layer of strategy when forming clubs.

If you're bronze or silver, then leave the new players at Bronze 1.
If you're gold tier, new players should be Silver 1.
If you're Platinum Tier, new players should be Gold 1.
Etc...
I really would prefer the option to just buy a bonus guy with cash. Maybe have pot luck boxes and the option to buy outright.
Let's count the reasons to go to higher levels:
1. At lower levels, winning streaks in prime events seem to be shorter. Bronze teams seem to max out around 10 games. Occasionally longer. Silver seems to max out around 19. Again, occasionally longer. Maxed gold teams routinely hit 29 game streaks.
2. In. CvC, higher level teams definitely score better on auto.
Unfortunately, both of these reasons have little meaning. The rewards for prime weekend events are a joke. No one should level up to perform better in a weekend event just to get a few extra XP when you'll need tens of thousands to make a difference. And, they're not even doing CvC right now apparently.
Let's look at why you shouldn't level up past silver:
1. Slugfest. That's enough right there. As a silver, the derby is beatable. That means lots of prime XP, which can be used for both rosters. Starting at the gold level, beating slugfest is nearly impossible. Just leveling up 1 slugger to gold 10 from gold 9 costs 10000 XP. Even if you're on a top 10 club and max out every event, it'd take 2-3 months to level up your entire slugger roster. Then, you'd still probably lose on 6-10 when your opponent scores 6200 points.
