I can only assume when any similar bug is found this will happen again which really makes league play pointless in both senses of the word.

I wouldn't call it 'the easy way' but 'the practical way'. The ranking system wasn't design to shift players from division to division - only from league to league and simultaneously from one division to a new one. Resetting the whole thing is easier than to patch in some procedure to accomplish your proposal. That might even cause more problems than it solves.

I don't agree that resetting all data is the practical way to fix software issues, it should be a last resort if there is no way to preserve the data. Lets hope when RBS has its next software problem it doesn't reset everyones accounts. (Sorry I know its not in the same league but I just couldn't help myself, and sorry about the league pun)
