If there's more than a couple of clicks for him, I'd hesitate on that because there is probably enough work in maintaining the site as is. The other issue is that it would be changing the ranking system midstream, which might be a concern to some folks.
The first scheme would be to figure out how the points would work. My rather complicated idea would be to have the first play of a scenario count at 1 point (solo or shared). After that each play is worth ½ point. One shared play after the first play may gain another half point, if the opposing player also logs the play.
For example, Felipe and I play Bogdanovo with me as the Germans. I would get one point for the play. We switch sides and play again. I get ½ point. It will go to a full point when Felipe records that play. If I want to play solo, it will only be ½ point regardless.
It might be easier for coding to double all the point values. If so, Drew would simply double all our play scores and the rank thresholds when the scheme is implemented.

I think we got the idea. I think it can be edited out, but I think it also kills the poll data. Not worth the trouble or the risk.
As a childish musing. I wolder how many players looked at the poll and wondered if they could triple their points.
