Just go to a balanced schedule.  This is just tripling down on a bad idea.

There is something incongruous with the phrase "rotating natural rivals"

Kind of like "genuine faux leather" or "synthetic diamond".
The rules of distinction were thrown out with the baseball cap.  It does not lend itself to protocol.  It is found today on youth in homes, classrooms, even in fine restaurants.  Regardless of its other consequences, this is a breach against civility.  A civilized man should avoid this mania.

My first baseball glove was stamped "Genuine Imitation Leather".  Sort of turned out like my fielding.
