I've devised a rather unconventional belt system that doesn't rely on colors, or rank anything like seniority or skill level. Instead, I use a numerical ranking of notches and inches to determine an individual's waist size.

For instance, a 46" belt with only one notch indicates you should give up beer and fatty foods. On the other hand, a 30" belt with nine notches means you probably should seek treatment for anorexia nervosa.
