I think you are right about voting and other games. If this Giants32 is going to be kept with this name internations jury must be created in some way. Results from the whole career should count (two years is too short period), PR (I don't like it much, but there is no other way at the moment to measure levels of play and compare them) as well and contribution to backgammon but in lighter way.

Otherwise just say the quaified players should vote who they think are the best players in the world. For me the definition is easy, are the ones I would buy a share if all attended the same tournament. At Nordic Open there is an odds compiler creating it, he does in this way for sure, the best for him would be to think what majority of bettors/players think about who are the strongest.

Jacob, a rating, as I know someone is working on it, should be enough to keep track of who scores better results. Rating based on points scored in tournament ranked would be probably the best, like in ATP circuit, but it would cost too much so standard way is fine enough, ast results counts more.
