Proposed World Ranking System

What about the player who get's hot and cashes a couple of times in Advanced, moves up to the open, and for several years rarely gets past the second round? And what if that player, in recorded matches, consistently plays at a high PR rating (high for an open player). Shouldn't there be some provision for that player to move back down? I am convinced there are many people not going to tournaments today because they are "forced" to play in the Open division, and the entry fee is high and their chances of cashing are very low given their skill level compared to the better players in the Open division.
I believe the first step is to develop some guidelines to determine what is an Open and what is an Intermediate player, and some methods to handle changes and exceptions and to handle why the criteria might be different for larger vs. smaller events and for side events vs. main events.
Once these guidelines are clearly established and stated (by somebody in power or with authority over the given tournament) then we can talk about how to apply ratings and rankings and w/l and cashes and PR to determine where people should play.
