After more consideration I still think what @clarkbenson calls the "rerank" system would result in the most true ranks. Understand with a large set of variables it might be difficult to scale but starting with a blank slate would be best. In this topic's case Tahoe Tweezer would be down on the list (if it was defaulted to chrono) where you'd have to find it (not having it appear as the top item upon first view). The basic idea is that you start with two (2) columns: left side with all the choices, right side with a blank slate. The UI allows you to drag/drop or click to top and then you fine tune the ranks via drag/drop, and then finally you submit. Here's a good example from ESPN on college football rankings:

Rank: College Football Preseason Top 25 (ESPN.com)

I'm sure the good pholks at Ranker have thought of this but just wanted to post here. Thanks for considering.
