Yes, it is too many points. Unfortunately, we have to play the game that way. I forsee this being a very defensive-minded game, and thus, my thoughts about consistency. If you can win consistently, you're going to do well. 50 points may not be a lot, but when other teams get 200, 5, 300, 15, and so on, the constant 50 starts looking pretty good. Sure, a consistent 200 points would be much better, but with all the KOTHs and theives and plows around, it's going to be hard to acheive those kinds of scores every match. Defending a large stack will be quite a challenge.
