wll not a bad idea, i wonder if that procedure affects the ELO average of the
population.

What determines the average of the elo of two similar populations? I mean on
FICS the elo are clearly lower tan the ICS. The elo systems are somwhat
different does that account to it or only the procedure for assigning the
initial elo?
Also: does the size of the population affect the average elo?
