Nasty forum bug, typed up 2000 characters and got a login screen that I couldn't log into because I afked for a minute so I lost it all, just an annoyance more then anything else lol...
Javalins sound like total hell if gold isn't as common as 2012 as that number is worse then brews were...Jesus.
Lower leagues were really good for RSB for awhile, clans that weren't warring nearly as often could still participate, same with smaller clans etc. without having to deal with a dec from a top warring clan that had to work their way through the ladder. The thing with lower league was by the time it didn't work anymore (2012 was a bleak year in some ways) it was due to lack in clans in RSB in general rather then the league being obsolete.
That being said the OS clans (and it could apply to RS3 too tbh I haven't been 100% in tune) could have a different set of requirements now, and the landscape is obviously different so you'd have to look at the clans that would make up a lower league before setting any sort of requirements or even making one tbh. That being said I would say it has been proven to work.
As for different brackets don't go crazy. If you were to make a ladder, start with things that you do right now. 10v10 I assume, maybe 20v20 and possibly classic fullout depending on if people care about that. I always liked fullouts because sitting people was the goddam worst, and I wasn't even the one that did it, and it seems to be one of the more attractive formats for outsiders (though idk about now), it's easiest to understand and work with it on a basic level.
For 2v2s if you don't do them for fun don't have a ladder for it. If anyone puts in a ladder start making it the least intimidating thing possible. You can build any additional leagues you need if you talk to other leaders/warrers (inside and outside ladder) and find there's plenty of interest. A ladder won't work period without people actively using it.
