Subject: ICC Ratings -- The Weekly ICC Wannabe Equalizer

Author: Matthew Hull

========================================================================
Wannabe:  Any ICC computer account owner who is not the programmer of the
engine/engines running in their account.
========================================================================

All non-programmer-owned computer accounts -- as a requirement for having a
rated computer account on ICC -- must play in at least [fillin the blank] number
of Weekly ICC Wannabe Equalizer (WIWE, pronounced "wee-wee")
blitz/standard/whatever events per [month, quarter, 6 months, whatever] in order
to retain their ratings.  Failure to meet these requirements will cause the
account to:

-- lose it's ratings
-- be limited to unrated games for [fill in the period of time]
-- (whatever else)

The purpose of the WIWEs is to keep the rating system in some sense of
equalibrium.  Accounts MUST play whoever/whatever enters the event, which, since
it will be a computer requirement, will be computers, plus perhaps whoever else
wants to play.

A possible side benefit might be that it could actaully be fun.
