In Response To: Proposed World Ranking System (Ken Larsen)

"Because the ABT points system only exists in the U.S. and only main events (Open, Advanced, and Novice) are awarded points, it may be a long time before any type of World Ranking System can be fully rolled out"

You could award your own points for purpose of the ratings. For seeing who is the best player how is this any better than an Elo system?
