It's hard to stack a league, because of the geographical boundries. Teams on the other hand can be stacked within a league. Redrafting every year is not required, even though most leagues do it to keep the regular season competitive. So it is possible to bring a team up from minors through the Williamsport tourney. Then you can just add one or two "parts" with the All-Star selections. In our area, LL doesn't stack their teams with one or two exceptions (my opinion only), out of 12 leagues. The other youth leagues I work, PONY, Dizzy Dean, all have stacked teams. Makes the regular season tedious because most games are run rules.
Edited to add...
LL rules only prohibit participation in other leagues while the player is still playing in the International Tournament. So an All Star team can participate all year in AAU or whatever. Only during the actual tournament must they not play for another team. That's one reason AAU tends to take July and August off.
