Matt Geist is a perfect example. Under JHC's formula he would've been Type B, but he received the highest total offer and his rating would be above the qualifying mark to receive compensation in the round between the 1st and 2nd.
As far as a rating system, the issue I see would be an example like this:
SP Rated 92 Age 36
SP Rated 88 Age 29
Under a rating system, the older SP would receive higher compensation. In a year or two the older SP is likely to be rated the same or lower than than younger SP through regression. In terms of future overall value the younger SP is better. The older one would definitely be better in the short-term, but I think compensation should be rewarding the ones who have the better overall future value. That's where I feel the total offer does it's job. It allows the bidding GMs to say who they feel is more compensation worthy.
