A leaderboard has no place in SCS. SCS was never a "competitive" event, it was essentially the practice tournament. The most useful thing about it was being able to go up against other serious teams and try new things. This is why SCS has any value at all; it keeps teams sharp. SCS is where you experiment with builds as well as hone your team. Divorce the leaderboard from SCS. From there, the diminishing returns doesn't really do anything.. While it's not particularly harmful, it's also not necessary. Just simplify it.
