A very interesting read. I only somewhat follow competitive Melee, but the lack of a formalized "chess-like" ranking system has always been interesting to me. I was surprised about the author's discussion about the double elimination system. I don't know much about ranking systems, but I must imagine by now someone has developed some sort of system that supports double elimination. All-in-all a very interesting and well written piece.
