I don't think the current system is bad. But sometimes I wish there was a "superstar", for players whom you wouldn't be surprised to see in the later rounds of a Bermuda Bowl or similar events.
(And then, of course, the superduperstar for players like me.)

Would BBO consider instituting a wooden spoon designation for the small minority of true non-experts?
