That's basically how it works.  The winner of any n-crown division moves up to
the higher division (except for 4-crowns, which has nowhere to go).  The loser
of any n-crown division moves down to the next lower division (except the
1-crown loser which has nowhere to go).

I plan to incorporate the excellent work of Mogens Larsen and others when I
recalibrate for the next pass, however.  His data is too excellent to ignore.
