I like it, Sabri. It's similar to the ABT points system except that it awards points further down. It's different from the ABT system in that only Master events are considered. ABT points are only awarded to Main events (Open, Advanced, Novice).

My proposed system ( http://home.roadrunner.com/~kenlarsen/bgWorldRankingProposal.htm ) leans towards average weighted points over the most recent five years and only considers Main ABT events. Regarding my numbers, I would consider anyone with a rating of 1.800 or higher to be a legitimate U.S. contender for Giant. I would look elsewhere for data to fill out a Giants ballot, and your data is an excellent place to go for that data.

Thanks, Sabri.
