Well...
As far as I have noticed up to now, it's usual for hosts to promote some players and degrade others. I don't think that a ranking system with those rules can work.
I have been playing in a ranked game with four players (SCC, Shielded Chaff Challenge by Staz), all intermediates, all not ranked before, thus starting on "Lower Intermediate". Nobody was killed until 2514 when the game ended due to technical problems. The host insisted on degrading one of the players (in this case me, because I was #4 due to bad race design) to Advanced Beginner. I had learnt a lot in the game, and I am surely not at advanced beginner level. And nobody of the other players is.
And as I play perhaps 1 ranked game a year, it's nearly possible to come to any reasonable level in reasonable time.
That's my problem with the ranking system. I would change it that way that no players are degraded, except perhaps due to sudden drop-out.
That's it.

Just as a point of note, you probably wouldn't be #4.
