There has to be a budget cap. Otherwise we'll see about 2 teams running out of money.

The teams will never agree to it, even those on the edge of going under.
A more fair division of prize money is the more realistic way to creep a little closer to parity, but people have been talking about that for years, and it has not happened yet. |

I'm still not sure that a cost cap is workable. I can just see too many ways of getting round it, then accusations of cheating, claim and counter-claim, results being declared void, chaos. It's a nice idea, and $100,000,000 is hardly peanuts, but I think it will remain a pipe dream.

If thought out... I believe it can be made to work, but I just don't see there being a will to make it happen. And as I have said before, I think many of the larger teams area against it because it actually might work and destroy their dominance.
It seems like it is dead topic even before it started again. I expect a few pages of the same old arguments (it can work, it can never work, etc.) being rehashed and then the thread going dormant again. Richard |

Can't make up my mind...are Williams to be admired for never supporting changes that hint of formally creating a two tier formula or are they only acting against their own best interest.
certainly a noble attitude to want to compete under an equal framework but it's hardly equal though. |
