There is a wide range of talent both within and among the town teams. Makes for a lot of lopsided games, especially when the leagues and/or town directors and coaches don't care enough to try to match talent - or even worse, intentionally sandbag to win games. Nassau County is much better at setting up divisions with equal talent - keeps scores, standings, etc. year to year. Suffolk doesn't seem to care.
