Thomas:
Ah, I suppose I've been skimming over the division part, which brings up some questions.
I see that they're randomly generated, but what's considered 'reasonably balanced'?
It reminds me of the Sky League Groups, which were randomly put together. Should each division be made of teams around the same ranking? (ie: great teams all in one division, good teams in another, new teams in a third, etc) Or should the very experienced teams be spread around evenly?

This was something I wanted to look at but wasn't totally comfortable with. I suppose what I want is for like, 3-5 random generations, with the host looking at them and making a judgement call on what looks the most balanced. By no means should a host move teams around to satisfy their own whims, but it makes it generally better if the divisions are balanced.
By balanced I mean that each division would have about an equal distribution of good and new teams. Basically trying to avoid a situation where a mediocre team gets the glory of reaching the golden playoffs because their division was just that bad, only to be crushed out.
More importantly, it helps keep the really good teams out of the silver playoffs. The point of the silver playoffs is to give a goal to the teams who aren't quite matching up to the top teams. If all the top teams are in one division, then some will get sent to the silver playoffs, and all the good-but-not-great teams that expect to do well in the silver playoffs would get beaten down anyways.
I'm happy to take the balance point out if people are uncomfortable with it. Just spitballing here. ^.^

hey redria, I was told to go through your idea.
So i opened up the document and made some comments under the user René B.
I couldnt be bothered to go through the 3 walls of text in this thread to see if some of my points have been answered already and what not. I might also have missed some points here and there.
next thing I would like to see is the updated document with changes that you have made, and I will read it again.

Thanks Skrim. I replied to each of your notes, and I will be going through and making adjustments today. If you want to look at my replies we can continue talking, or if you just want to wait and read through my change log and see what you think we can do that.
