Your method is probably the easiest and fairest way of doing it, I agree.
Simply say that the longer a bot lasts in comparison to others, the better overall rank it gets.
My only concern is the number of arenas this tournament is spanned over - wouldn't 5 be a nicer number?
Edit: With this ranking system, we'll need some code that converts points to ranks and deals with tied ranks - without dealing with tied ranks, if say in the Kill count round 5 out of 8 bots killed no bots, then one of these 5 bots would be allocated a score of 1, another 2, ... and another 5, which is clearly unfair. I'll work on that code.
P.S. Did you catch John's post in the previous thread?

how many 'points' would you assign to an 'evasion' in Arena 3?
