We're looking at making sure we have the right balance in terms of points for a win. We're not ready to make that decision, but we are studying that to make sure we have enough real reward for a win. That's something we will have to look at.

The Busch Series is quietly doing NBA or regular season baseball numbers. It's wearing out other sports.
