I just think that if you pace, you deserve and have earned to be in the next tourney automatically.
You're only talking about 3 spots. The remaining 15 (because Smoke & Johnny automatically get in, that goes without saying) are still up for grabs. If you are one of the 3 placing teams, you have until say 3 days before to back out if you can't make the next tourney. In most cases, you'll know way more than 3 days in advance if you're not going to be able to make it. That gives enough time to find a replacement. With so many teams waiting in the wings, that should not be an issue. You're only talking about 3 spots! As far as averages, if you're constantly placing, you're gonna be there anyway. I'm talking the tourneys during the year, not at the end. Although I think using this method would settle that too!
Just an idea that I feel is pretty fair and will average out overall.
