The Divisions...

I have never been a big fan of the equality cult but in this case I think we have to try to give some nod to fairness and geography makes fairness difficult.

I also like the mixing bowl effect of teams from different regions of the country/world playing against each other at the Championships.

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 ;-)
