That is one of the reasons I like idea of "Random until you're a part of history" concept. I envision most teams being random but once you've made history then you stick to that division. This would put only a few teams each season into the frozen forever club. I think you could even have a ceremony at the opening of the games on each field where the newly frozen teams from the prior season's performance are "welcomed into the club" so to speak.

I think this could start to develop into rivalries that help to spread the fame and glory of the divisions. It would also give fans a natural alliance to cheer for on Einstein (at least those in the club but others as well -- there are always going to be division fanboys ;-)

Now that makes more sense, perhaps if you win one year the next 3 years you are frozen, and if you dont win in any of those you become unfrozen again? just an idea to keep it slightly fluid.
