The chances of the guy with a 20 handicap of winning are high, yet there's zero chance of having a fun competitive game...........is that how we want the game to be played?

It's a temporary problem, though. After a few of these match-ups, the lower-GP player will advance beyond the inactive players and into the promised land. Unfortunately, even though it's temporary this stretch of time will get longer the more and more inactive players there are.

Some sort of hybrid solution might be possible. Someone mentioned a floor earlier, so the solution might be to give a minimum guaranteed reward if someone doesn't sign up that's higher than the reward for going 0-3 in their current "floor." Of course, that'll only solve the problem of people who are inactive because they like the rewards but not the mode, and not do anything about the people who are inactive because they're jerks and just like the idea of new players seeing they're matched up against someone with 6m GP and despairing--which, I'm sure, is still a lot of people.
