Has any thought ever been given to having a rating bracket tourney? Our rating system is well and good, so perhaps we should make use of it in a tourney to match players of even skill competing for a title. (i.e. the below 1150 title, the 1150-1200 title, the 1200-1250 title, the 1250-1300 title, the 1300 and up title) Maybe even some names (rather than just ranges, as it is in chess) - i.e. B, A, expert, master, grandmaster.
And for pete's sake, if this does make it past the good idea fairy stage, let's please not make it a blitz.
Anyone else like this?
