i think a somewhat working way would be if season had some pre-season games. like a two week period in which each clan has to play like 2 games in order to get in the league. by the games played admins can check the proper division for them. and this would of course be a helper only. like in these scenarios where people cry about a clan too dominating for the div. if it beats two of the same div in the pre-season super show off with 200 frags it goes up a div. ALSO that would force clans to be active for two weeks!

Nice thoughts RaptoR, there is however a big problem with the ladderlike system.
It will be a huge benefit for the topclans playing the bottomclans in the very beginning, and reverse.
It will be a huge disadvantage for a bad team to try to play the best clan in the first games.
In a ladder you can always play more and more games to even this out in the long run, but not in league.

This would be true for a system, that calculates the earned points static in the moment when the match was played.
In the system I'm describing, the earned points for a match in the past would always change when a new match by any clans in the same div is played. It would be recalculated when the new scores are entered... Therefor it doesn't matter when you play against who.

Possible, but...
- it matters which clans play each other
- it matters who of the clans lineup will play the test games (like leaving the starplayer out for it)
- are two games really an indicator of the clans strength? could be a good day - could be a bad day
