It would motivate people to get better and to keep playing for a better elo, who doesn't like being in the top 5% of players in a list?

Thank you. I think.

Right now a bad 2nd dan could achieve the top ten rank just by playing in public TK and doing a snap kick. I am almost certain I could create a bot that knows one or two moves and could get rank 1.

To summarise the whole system I suggested, it forces competitive play by putting people of a similar skill together, always.
