The rating used in chess: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elo_rating_system

Or teams :-). This is the main reason it is used.

IGM, WGM, ... are not tournaments. They are titles: Grand Master, 
International Master, ... So, if your are a Grand Master, you go first than 
an International Master (if the score and the rating are the same).

BTW: rating, FIDE-title and name don't change during the tournament, so you 
only have to use them once: before the first round, when all the scores are 
the same (zero). You order the players, giving them a ranking number (1, 2, 
3, ...), and then you only need two parameters to order the players: the 
score, and the ranking.
