Well, if you think about it, Tempo has been the standard of play. However since this year both time and scoring are even bigger and more important, the concept has become more apparent.

I don't think illegal moves will be implemented just to keep tempo. There are other ways to save your tempo by coordinating a motion with your alliance partners to evenly follow the track. And most players and teams would rather avoid penalties even if the optimal solution was to take it.

I also don't think Tempo even will become an issue until teams start to see it's effect. I give it to Week 3 before Tempo becomes the big discussion.
