Poker Handicapping?

[Guernica4000]

Do any of you think that it may be possible to handicap a tournament poker?
If so, do you think it would be better to have a lower buy in or more starting chips?

Could there be a mathematical formula used?

Let say the handicapping was used with a group of 30 players (from beginner to expert) where their stats were kept for “X” number of tournaments. Would there be a fair system to play a final tournament where all players had the same chance or is there just too much luck involved in the short run to make any handicapping fair?
