Elaborating on the grandmaster route 2.
Comparing with chess, the chess grandmaster title can be awarded based on rating and results (percentage of points won) in international tournaments, each time with at least two grandmasters participating and qualifying three times within a rolling period of three years.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grandmaster_(chess)
As for the rating limit, the tafl ratings are broadly distributed from 1000 to 2000, 1500 being the average. The upper half of the upper half would be a natural limit, i.e. rating 1750.
That includes these players:
2114 casshern (GM)
2034 Plantagenet (GM)
1924 OdinHimself (IM)
1876 herjan (GM)
1849 crust (GM)
1846 mmagari
1838 Ded Fomich
1831 Sigurd
1812 Adam (GM)
1809 fjorlag
1795 nath (GM)
1793 siegfried
1758 Bogd Khan
To take a look at our latest World Championship tournaments (which have at least two rounds):
2018
(max. 12) Casshern: 12 pt., Odinhimself: 10 pt., Sqaree: 7 pt., Khan asparukh: 6 pt., Adam: 4 pt., Steiger: 3 pt., Epm180: 0 pt.,
2017
(max 10) Casshern: 8 pt., Plantagenet: 8 pt., Odinhimself: 5 pt., Edmond-dantes: 4 pt., Animals: 3 pt., Sqaree: 2 pt.,
2016
(max 14) Herjan: 12.5 pt., Crust: 12.5 pt., Adam: 11 pt., Sigurd: 7.5 pt., Bigwurm91: 5 pt., Hagbard: 3 pt., Xerxes: 2.5 pt., Tuireann: 2 pt.,
With a limit set at 50% percent points won, and requiring in the tournament at least two players rated above 1750, players qualifying for GM are:
(max. 12) Casshern: 12 pt., Odinhimself: 10 pt., Sqaree: 7 pt., Khan asparukh: 6 pt.
(max 10) Casshern: 8 pt., Plantagenet: 8 pt., Odinhimself: 5 pt.,
(max 14) Herjan: 12.5 pt., Crust: 12.5 pt., Adam: 11 pt., Sigurd: 7.5 pt.,
Tournaments with at least two rounds have only experienced players in the final round.
Tournaments with only one round have beginners included, and to take this into account the limit of points won is raised to 75%.
