Re: here is an idea
It would take people who have high integrity. Some of us have more history than others to draw on, but the human failings are hard to overcome to maintain objectivity and justice. A person's character and beliefs are far more important than age. When you can be influenced by how much somebody puts into the kitty to keep your game going, that is obvious evidence of the lack of ethics that are needed to be the foundation of the sport. I do not think that there is a perfect system, but the one currently in place has major inadequacies.
Alan, while the ideas behind the AHFS seem to meet the criteria for an objective self-adjusting system, it fails to be able to be effective when the playing field gets bombarded to often with ringers that will take years to be adjusted correctly. That's where some individual prudent judgment is better.
