Yep, Jim has it right. Remember the main goal is to keep the community healthy and changing. Lower point values allow newer players into the tournament. It never fails that around the 1250 point level we have a large group of new people that come out to play.

That and if we keep at the 1850 or 2000 point level people will bring the same list over and over then you might have the same people winning with the same list.
