A judging system which lets the judge focus on a specific aspect of the dance per round seems like a more intelligent approach than having a judge consider all the elements on show in the battle.
I don't think this eliminates power heads and specialists, it just says if you come with just power your score for dynamic will be high but, your originality, foundation scores will be low. This gives power heads a place to boost up certain scores in a crew battle and as a side effect encourages them to start with some tops and possibly try to make their moves more unique.
I also think people over look the fact that Battle (or battle strategy) takes into account the back and forth in a battle, giving crews or individuals better marks dependent on their response to the opposition.
Obviously people will always react negatively to change, and I don't see this as something that will be implemented in every battle, people will always want variation and their own methods. I do believe that if people consider the lack of money bboys make. They must consider the fact that the general public do not understand the dance, hence your audience is extremely limited. If, much like ballroom dancing you implement a system which includes outsiders. Then you boost your fan-base and potential revenue stream through Television, bigger events and shows.
In general I'd love to see bboying in the Olympics as a dance or sport or what ever. There is shooting, synchronized swimming, ice skating, and rhythm gymnastics which are just technically termed sports but everyone knows there is a massive distinction between those activities and traditional sports such as football and athletics.
If you are really interested in the progression of bboying you'd add to a debate which decent opinion and insight without simply stating, this is wak. I might be wrong but that's my opinion.
