I have no problem on multiple ideas. Just bear in mind in all likelyhood this will be maintained manually, and that limits considerably the complexity which can be considered.

We could get a standard ladder which would be run automatically. In that system you would move up the ladder half the distance between you and the person you beat. And you only move down by people below you beating people above you then. It's not a bad system, but it's not really what I wanted to do. But maybe the fact of it being handled automatically for free is a big incentive to choose it over any idea we can come up with on our own.
