The problem here is that your trying to apply a binary system to people, who are each unique in their own way. Each person has their own list of strengths and weaknesses, as well as their own interests. Its not really easy to digitize people as 'vets' no matter what standard you use.

I for example think I'm pretty good at running my own nations from early game to late. There have only been a handful of games where I did not see the very end of it, yet I've only won one of my games. I also don't seem to have a whole lot of luck with team games for one reason or another. Yet most of the games I've managed have run quite smoothly in my opinion.

I think it would be better to have a list of players where people nominate what their qualifications are. Qualifications could include things like accomplished modder, small game winner, effective rusher, dominions loremaster, and so on and so forth. A system of nomination would also allow for people's qualifications to increase over time as they improve their skills.
