The 4 major tourney's idea is awesome... in fact any tournament/league in which there is a prize at the end would get me interested as it would many other coaches... and i know faction does do this to a degree but it seems to far away to get to F1 when you're in fq to win a prize....
but thats not the point... the major tournaments would be something to aim for and look forward to for any team, and enforced fluffing of the teams involved could enhance the depth of them even further |

F1 too far away? I just took an orc ream there in 17 games.. Let's say I win my remaining 6 games this round (hard to do in F1, but still).. That would get me the title in 23 games... This feels very quick to me... 
And yes, tournaments of some kind are very likely in this new division. |

Maybe a new ladder would be the ideal place to playtest the Vault rules once they've been implemted.
As a first draft, as an example (not considering all the other good suggestions made so far specifically):
- New teams in the division start with a cap of 150.
- Teams are only allowed to play against teams with the same cap.
- To get a higher cap, a team must win a cup (8 games swiss or KO as in the current fumbbl cup). Cups can only contain teams with the same cap, of course. Cups can be played whenever 8 teams have joined.
- If a team has won a cup, it's cap is raised by 50.
- The highest possible cap is 300.
- Each 3 months one of the 4 major tournaments is played. A coach may join these tournaments with one of his teams that have reached a cap of 300 (i.e. their cap is 300, they need not have actually reached the cap, of course). |

I think that's a great idea. |

Ya - it's the best way to make Ladder a unique experience while at the same time, playtesting faulty ..... er ..... new rules. |

On a second thought, perhaps in this division it should only be allowed to play in cups at all, that way cherry-picking would become next to impossible. |

Christer - I think one thing that needs to be reviewed is ladder scoring. A system that makes sense.
For example, the current ladder leader has a record of 1-0-2 and is ahead of teams that are 1-0-0 and 1-0-1. The scoring should make more sense so that these "odd" features don't exist.
