As only a fan/sepectator, I hope climbing to the top is prevelent during the eliminations at the Championship. We have already seen elite teams (like 118) forgo climbing because scoring discs resulted in more points. Since watching a team climb at the end of the match is so exciting and adds an extra layer of strategy, I hope it is valued enough that the top teams still do it. If that means adding more points to climbing or lowering points for hanging (aka, 10 point 'climbs'), then the GDC better do it. I think we all agree shooting and climbing is more exciting than just shooting.

I know MikeE already said this, but: Yes, it is true we were all given the same rules to base strategy and design decisions and changing the point values of climbing will change the game. But, those same rules given to all teams, give the GDC the ability to tweak the game. As always, those teams more prepared to adapt on the fly, will do better.
