Finding like level users.

Balance in multiplayer is a valid concern. If the game allows for it I think it's the simplest to ask for extra points, e.g. 25% more. Increase this number (quickly) until you get your first victory. Just find an opponent who is ok with this.

Do you think the scenario records listed here on the Blitz are a valid way of "handicapping" a game? Give the side with a better won-loss record to the less experienced player, and use the point system as-is.

Not saying that giving extra points to the newer player is not valid. Seems like that would work very well also.
