RE: Ladder competition
How about quarterly ( IIRC Leadeaters used to do that with quarterly winners and yearly winners) based on gains and loses in ELO? That would basicly show who is hot and who is not. It would use the ELO as a metric, which is the theory behind the ELO, at least in Chess. It would also keep players from playing a lot of platoon battles of 10 turns to inflate their stats. Would the ladder types do that here? I have seen ladders where they would.
Any system can be gamed, the only defense is to make it not worth the effort. I think that is Leadeaters went to the Quarterly system. It spread the wealth around and put the players gaming the system under pressure.
