Allow Me To Clarify
Please do not misunderstand my last post. I am not suggesting that 4.0 teams be the standard because it can push harder than lighter teams. I am saying that physics proves that the heavier team will dominate a lighter team, which is why it is important that weight is determined before a tournament begins.
If weight is not regulated, that opens the door for poorly matched teams. A tournament can become an all out slaughter, which can make a mess of things. When that happens, the beauty and the class of the hobby are diminished.
As I said before, I prefer to mix weights among my teams when I play solitaire. By doing this, it opens the game for huge things to happen on the table. Never do I make one team heavy all over without doing the same for its opponent. I spread the weight over my teams. Mismatches are created all over the board when I allow my varied weighted, posed, and based teams to match up.
