The attitude of off-season comps would change too. Right now most teams are training a new drive team, trying to pass down the power from the seniors or current drive team. By making winning worth points, you loose the teams willingness, so its a trade off - train new team and do better next season, or dont train new team, do better now and worse later?

Thats a hard decision that teams shouldnt have to face.
To say teams shouldn't have to face that decision is not correct. All teams face that decision anyways. The difference, however, lies in the amount of pressure that is placed on that decision. You still have to decide if you want to use your old drivers and do well, or train new people, but when there's nothing on the line, you can make that decision easier.

For the record, I think off-season competitions should stay as-is- unofficial and with no consequence on the actual FIRST season. That is the way they should be- just for fun.
