Winning against a much weak player does not prove anything, nor teach you much. (In contrast to losing against a stronger player.) I wonder if handicaps could be used? E.g. the elite players could play even games against each other, but a 9-stone game against the non-elite players. Only elite players qualify for the KGS league points, but otherwise their wins/losses in the handicapped games count. So Zen has to not just beat CrazyStone, but also beat WeakProgram at a high handicap, or hope that CrazyStone also fails to beat him at the same challenging handicap. (I'm sure that is too complex for the KGS tournament structure, but I thought I'd throw it out there anyway...)
