here's an idea I'm musing with... why not have some sort of seeding process (tournament, or current ranks) that people can opt to be in or not. Then just run a ladder-type competition with those ranks based on rank challenges. That will rank people according to skill (and occasionally luck on a song) and prevent some from playing say... halcyon (nothing against the song), 50 million times to get a higher score.

Also, only those who are concerned with their rank will be seeded/participate in the ladder, so it might actually save some CPU time due to massively reduced traffic.

Just a thought, some tweaking and it might work well.
