Being in the land of the five rings (Juan Antonio cast as the evil sorcerer), a thought struck me while attempting to understand more about HW and the numbers... what sort of skill rating would, say, the gold, silver and bronze winners have in their discipline? Would they be at Harreck level, clan champion (I doubt since we're talking about the best on Earth not the best in a clan), tribal champion including magic assistance? etc.

I'm trying to guage the differences in skill levels wrt. what I see on the idiot box during this two weeks. I'm *not* trying to start an online war! I understand that, for the most part, it's the relative differences that make HW useful and good. I've no problem with that... but I think it's useful to understand and see the absolute differences as well. So, is the following what other people think is OK (followers includes all external support; please also remember I'm talking about their most appropriate skill - such as fastest 400m butterfly :-) :

Superhero + magic + followers           No equivalent on earth?
Superhero + magic/followers             "
Superhero                               "
Hero + magic + followers                Mult. gold olympian on drugs?
Hero + magic/followers			Multiple gold olympian?
Hero					Olympic finals quality?
(anything missing here?)
Tribal champion + magic + followers     best in very good country?
Tribal champion + magic/followers
Tribal champion                         top 5 in avg/good country?
Clan champion + magic + followers
Clan champion + magic/followers
Clan champion
Clan member
...

Also, do you think the following are sort of equivalent as well:
- superhero vs. hero + magic + followers?
