In Response To: When are Advanced Players No Longer Advanced (Chuck Bower)

Is it better to base it on tournament success or on how good a player is?

An Elo system does not throw away data wheras in LS an 0-3 finish and 2-3 finish are treated identically. Also an Elo system does not give extra importance to semifinal or finals games like LS does which increases variability. An Elo system looks better to me for measuring the strength of a player.
