Meh.....all I see is a points fluff for individuals. Team wise, nothing much changes except for the mostly inactive teams. They gain hugely.
Might as well just leave it alone. I see no benefit other than pacifying a few individuals and absolutely no benefit to active teams or anything remotely promoting a team oriented atmosphere.
I mean that personal points are used in the algorithm in which team points and ranking are derived from. Meaning, if you mess with the individual points system it has a direct impact on the team points and ranking system also.
You are misguided. Technological Science is concentrating on robotics. Every Uni worth anything now has a competitive robotics team. Is that a "sport"? No.
Will it ever be? Probably not.
How about RC racing? Those guys spend countless dollars on hardware and tweaking for their competitive meets, and there is skill involved. Is that a "sport"? No. Competitive hobby maybe.....just like overclocking.
No......... it won't.
Because it will NEVER be seen as a sport.
The peak for attention has already passed.
There is no real need for overclocking any more. Hardware is plenty fast for anything now. You forget, or never really knew why people overclocked to start with.
People overclock now because they did before or because they're interested as an electronics experiment or hobby.
Gamers don't even overclock any more because their bunnyextraction is fast enough now. Faster than the eye can see and the mind can comprehend. There is no need for it now.
How do you promote something that there is no need for and that less than 1% actually participate in as a "sport"?
