Proposed World Ranking System

In Response To: Proposed World Ranking System (Phil Simborg)

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?

With the system that Ken proposes, that player's rating will drop down pretty quickly and he/she will qualify to play in advanced division again fairly soon; i.e., eligibility criteria allow a lot of rotation (both up and) down for those players who so desire. I actually advised Ken to not assign a formal rating to any player who played fewer than 5 live tournaments over the past 5 years. (Ken proposes to keep tournament performance for the past 5 years towards the rating.)
