Both are good points. As for the first one, here is a proposed addendum
to the rules ...

---
Note: Any program that does not make a valid attempt to find and
accumulate token statistics, will be awarded a zero speed score. This is
to prevent spurious but fast programs being submitted.

As for the second point, would  it sufficent to organise the rankings 
so that any given person can only have one ranking at anyone time? And 
that would be for their best effort so far.


I'll give this a day or two to get some feedback before I implement them.
