Bootie, if you think the ELO is vague, here is a proposal of a simple evaluating Player Value (PV). It is simple and balanced.

Jaws,

it is not that the elo system is vague. the calculations of the elo are straightforward. it is that the variables in a cm game are so broad, it diminishes the value of an "strength of player" system.

But I still think it is a good "strength of player" calculation, but you just have to look at it knowing that it is far from perfect.

And when I go look at the ladder, I look at ELO, win streak, and win %. That is what matters to me.
