Timeouting as increasing trend

Nohing personal, but you as well as other people seem to think that a timeout is a bad thing (since you state that if they were playing better, games wouldn't time out). Why?

Many tables with excellent players will time out because they neutralize each other. The best player will try to maximize his points anyway.

Timeouts are bad things

Why? You give no argument.

Because then you don't get sufficient game wins and VPs to make the final and win the tournament obviously. I didn't think it needed to be said.

If there are more and more timeouts (which is the starting assumption of this thread), then it won't change anything for accessing the final because most tables will timeout (and players will score less points). The final threshold will be lower (and as much as hard to attain than today).

If there are no more timeouts than before, this topic is moot.
