If I was FIRST I would mix up the new and old divisions. Putting all 4 of the "classic" divisions at one event seems like it will give it the feel of being the more prestigious of the two. The 4 "classics" just have so much more history behind them by virtue of being older. But splitting and mixing new and old may help to mitigate this problem.

(I'm trying to think of a Sportsball analogy but I'm drawing a blank right now)
