No appology is neccesary Slynky. I don't have a strong love for the ladder system. I think there is probably room for more then one, and if there is not and yours ends up being the prefered method of ranking I am not going to be offended in any way. My choice of the ladder my league ladder system was due to two points.

1. There has been a persistant feeling expressed among many people that some rating system was needed.

2. The My league ladder seems to fill that need while being relativly easy for me to administer.

However, if your Ratings system takes off so much the better. Having someone else run a Ratings system is even easier for me then administering the Myleague system.

Geo suggested the name might not be catchy enough. Which would infer a catchier one might be needed. So, first thought that popped into my mind was the man of many Messages and words (and, therefore, ideas) .

Fyron is good at coming up with names.... Adm Mod is a classic example of how Fyron uses dicussion , poles and his own research to come up with names.

Umm... flip to a random page in the dictionary and see what words look like catchy names.
