It begs the point of WHY.
Most people would know from the playing if the person is good at all.
Beyond this, why compete?
The people who are good, know it, and don't have any need to prove it.
The ones who are not AS good, know it, and would be learning from the
ones they admire. The way it is done as we currently have it, is a
non-judgemental form, and without the pressure a competition, as Steve
was seeming to imply would be good, would impose.
So, the basic question is or should be why would we want it?
