You know what. I think it all really depends on who judges. I mean, a lot of credible judges such as Ness and Poe1 already use point system. If it's judged similar to a sport like figure skating, where certain elements are required, then bboys would have to do toprock, then a drop, to footwork, etc. And if any of those elements are not there, then you would get major deductions. And of course for adding flavor and creativity to these elements can give you bonus points and stuff. I'm sure these kind of judges are judging like this already anyway. I guess what I'm saying is, judging it strictly like a sport can actually be a good thing.
