I think it would be nice to see a tourney like OP suggested, consisting of players who have consistenly done well and made multiple final tables, rather than this year's TOC in which the participants only had to make one final table in selected events (along with the three equity-stealers).

This is probably the format we'll see eventually for the TOC event which holds the most legitamacy with the pros. When more leauges such as the EPT and WPT are in place, it will be much easier to keep track of performancs on a "professional circuit" and come up with ratings with a more unified system than the one currently used, say, at CardPlayer for their player of year. (Those rules are kind of geared toward volume not quality)
