Hey hendersondayton
A Points system for Tours is something that existed in our designs from an early stage, and is still something I want to see go in as an option for Tour creators.
I think that a Points system requires players to play more consistently, as well as diversify the field a bit better. With the Wins system we have now it's possible to clinch the top spot on the Tour Leaderboard after 50%+1 of the events, which makes for an anti-climactic second-half. With a Points system you would still need to worry about that second half of the Tour in order to insure you don't get bumped from top spot by your nearest rivals. It also means that someone who didn't manage to get an event-win, but came in 2nd every time can be rewarded for their consistency if the wins are spread out amongst multiple people. That's where a proper balance of points-to-rank comes in. For that reason I'd start with preset point values. It would make it easier for us to evaluate the successes and failures of that system.
Anyway, this is just me waxing poetic about a system that I'm personally interested in. I can't answer your original question of whether or not we're planning to do this, but it is definitely on my mind.
Thanks for the post!
