Re: [MCC] Minimum Competitive Concept 2013
The problem I have with the MCC being a one point dumper is twofold. First, it's not "competitive" at any level of higher play. Reducing the disc count by 16 just to score 16 points just won't cut it at the deepest events. I would rather teams shoot those 16 discs at 50+% accuracy into the two point goal, honestly. Secondly, I saw a lot of solid 1 point dumpers with hangs that did 3 cycles at week 1 / 2 events. Maybe two of them made elims. If you can't make elims that early in the season, there aren't a lot of ways you'll make elims later into the season.
I really think the "minimum" starts with the 2 point goal this year. Make 8 in auto, 6 points a cycle, and hang. Then again, I define "competitive" as "at least has an outside shot of making elims at any event"... maybe that's too high.
