Bad luck? WTF? Do you have a random encounter chart with the field 
college on it? <rolls dice> You encounter the Crimson Bat; you are all 
dead! Where is the fun in that? You must have loved Traveller: the 
characters could die before play even began.

I'm with Trotsky on this, but just to be safe: 'clan champion' covers a 
range of ability ratings, with some clan champions better than others. I 
reckon you could reasonably cover a mastery in range (1W2 to 1W3?).
