What quorum are we talking about? The number of participants is always spontaneous. Any Tournament, even an unofficial one, becomes official once a certain number of players are gathered, the quorum is calculated, and put into effect. What does it mean: "below which the Tournament cannot 'fall'?"
Here again, it's not quite clear: if there are several players of this level, what - in your opinion, will they periodically change places, giving another player a chance to rise? That is, if a strong player A takes 1st place in Tournament X, and another equally strong player B takes 2nd place, then in the next Tournament Y, B will become first, and A will take second place? In order for them, as you say, to "find their high place," they simply need to make mistakes in turn. In this example, there are only 2 players, but if we take a real example, i.e., if we consider 4-5 such "guys"? And if a newcomer arrives, but his level of play is exactly the same, how will he then be able to find that very - high place?
And you don't accept the principle of competition - that's more than strange. Honestly, the question is not quite clear. I just pointed out that a strong player always remains strong, and there is no need for the IronAxe system to emphasize this. If there are several such players, then the principle of "neck and neck" cannot be avoided, even if the rating is calculated "with the left foot." What could be better than "close" competition. Everyone will be interested, both the participants in this process and the observers.
That very "empty formality" will remain in any case - only it will apply to those who occupy places below 10.
I am more concerned about the "formal top," the absence of which is what makes the championship interesting.

Hello,
Excuse me for butting into your conversation, but:
I looked at this topic and the topic about the rating: and came to the conclusion that you will never reach a compromise, and even less come to a unanimous opinion.
In my opinion, someone with authority needs to choose one of the options proposed here. Otherwise, this dispute will continue forever... because it is impossible to come up with a completely objective rating that would take into account the interests of both the first and the second...
because your Tournaments are not big sports, where all the rules are clearly defined.
There is no need to apologize. If you have something to say, then you are welcome - the topic is open to everyone.
Regarding the matter, I can say that, perhaps, with the new season, we will come up with a new rating that will satisfy the majority. Everything is in our hands, and in yours too.
