Suggestion for a 1v1 Ladder system - Feedback please.

The current 1v1 system is pretty basic. It's a single elimination 1 versus 1 type system. Some people may like that, some may not. What about modifying it to a long-term ladder with a points system? Nothing too complicated. See if I can get you guys to follow.

Based on the number of players, there will be divisions separating higher ranked players and lower ranked players. Everyone of course would start out at the bottom in the beginning.

Division 1 - Everyone starts here. Start of league, new players - With a baseline of 500 points

• Division 1 = Up to 800 points
• Division 2 = Up to 1,500 points
• Division 3 = Up to 2,500 points

And so on and so forth. Actual numbers probably would be different than these.

Gaining points/Losing points

• Points that are gained or lost depending on who wins/loses a match.
• If the lower ranked player wins a game, then the lower ranked player gains a specified amount of points, while the higher ranked player loses a specified amount of points.
• The higher the points difference between the two players, determines the amount of points gained/lost in the match.

I haven't gotten much farther into the details of a rule set, but give me some feedback on what you guys think of a ladder/points system like this. This could be something that could run all the time with enough help.
