In Response To: a gnu forum poll? (jm)

Arrange an "anti-luck-tournament".

Long matches. Round robin format or players grouped in fairly large groups to ensure a minimum number of matches for all players. All matches get recorded and published. The winner of a match gets a point. If the winner also has the lowest ER, then he gets an extra point. When all matches have been played the player with the highest number of points have won the tournament.

A tournament like this will give you a good indication of what sort of playing level to expect from the participants. We have had a couple of tournaments like this in Denmark. Fairly popular as long as it is not high stakes as this format really favours the strong players.
