D3: 36-45
D4: 46-55
D5: 56-65
D6: 66-75
D7: 76-85
D8: 85+

Ironically, I feel this is a far worse solution. There are SO many more people playing in the 56-75 range than in the novice divisions. It's pretty easy to improve in the D1/D2 skill level, but improving once you hit FMOs is a lot slower.
Under this system, D5 and D6 would be even bigger than they are now, I'd reckon, meaning extra work for the additional division, and the end result is worse.

Also I think this is where they "you're funny" comment comes from. Because this has been suggested every tournament, and it really doesn't work.
If there were to be an extra division, you'd have to squash it in between the current bottom of D7 and current mid-D6, and move current D6 and D5 down a bit, I think. It definitely wouldn't be a nice clean "every 10 difficulties" split like you have.
