In Response To: It's a New Year; Let's do Something New (Phil Simborg)

I agree with Igor and others about the cost, but the cost hasn't deterred Bridge and Scrabble players. Their tournaments are well attended.

I think a world ranking system based on live tournament performance is needed. The current Giants vote is a joke, in my opinion. It's only done every two years, and some of the vote-getters haven't attended any major tournaments. It's a popularity contest. If I were a potential sponsor, I'd prefer to give my money to game that had a legitimate world ranking system ... so that my supported tournament had a chance of moving people up or down on the ranking.
