I think it's an excellent idea. Maybe people would be more apt to rate themselves correctly.

Yeah, I know it's been said a hundred times before, but...
I'm not sure
this has been said:
What's success? To some, 2nd is not success. To others, 25th overall is success.
What's major? IMHO, The North American Swiss Teams (or whatever it's called now) is not a major event since it runs opposite the Reisinger. But try telling that to someone who won it.
Also, just my opinion, but if you're under average as often as over average, you're not consistently successful.
I tend to lead fourth best - as opposed to the best suit, the second best suit, or the third best suit for our side
