Users or teams can join ladders and challenge other players or teams in the ladder. Elo rating system is used which calculates the difficultly of a match according to the players' ranks and this is taken into account when the ranks are updated after the match is finished.

Also if possible can you make the leagues part like :
Played = Total Matches
Won
Drawn
Lost
For
Against
Points
The above can cover most leagues that people use, Also people can easily then change the name of them if needed
Also option to place players/teams in to a selected league by admin before the season starts
Most of those stats are in league currently:
Played = Total Matches
Won= Wins
Drawn = Draws
Lost=Losses
For? I'm not sure what you mean by this
Against? I'm not sure what you mean by this
Points= Total Points
You change change the phrase text in vbulletin phrase manager
At the end of a season you could have 2 teams with the same points
But if you had - For - this would be how many goals they have scored
Against - this would be how many goals they have had scored against them
Team a - For - 30 ----- Against - 10 - this would give them a difference of +20
Team b - For - 30 ----- Against - 14 - this would give them a difference of +16
Currently you have it where there's the section for us to post rules and other information on each ladder. You also have the main ladders & tournament rules that show up in the tab I recommended a month or so ago.
I'm trying to say merge the rules into the tab for the ladders. Keep the rules how they are for the tournaments. The rules tab for the ladders though should be customizable for each ladder. Right now you have it so we can edit the rules and they show up for all ladders. Make the rules tab on each ladder customizable so we can edit the rules for each ladder and they don't show up on the actual ladder page (you have to click the rules page to view the rules).
For example I cutout a image of the current view of a ladder and the way it would look after you remove the section. That information you would have there would show up in the Rules tab.

Another idea I would like to suggest is a Prize tab on Tournaments.
