I think this sort of achievement mentality already exists in gaming in general. For example, we have numerous sites dedicated to tracking the completion time of speedrunners at a global ranking, but the fact that it's a global comparison means that only a handful of people in the world are capable of competing in it. For us other plebs, there's no reason to even try when the records are so tight that it might take years for someone to best it.
Local or even just regional scoring for arcades like this could provide a way for local leagues to form naturally and give people to compete within their division with a more fair playing field. You might not be world recognized, but maybe you're the best player of a game within your local arcade, or maybe the best in southern Florida. These divisions create a sense of progress as you improve and give you more immediate goals to work towards as you play.
