Homage, I do agree a "little" with what you're saying... but also I know from a LOT of PeeWee experience that there IS a difference of how you build. Realize I'm talking ONLY about one-n-done dots (since you can now take PeeWee dots all the way to the end and not be at a disadvantage against other level 79 dots). I could type you a long list of differences but the gist of it is there IS a difference in build style to long-term builds. And I agree completely with this;
(Homage posted: "the question isn't if 15 confidence is better than 10... it's about the cost of bringing that confidence up albeit nothing comparably speaking compared to other aspects of a build that may allow the dawts morale to remain")
But that's why I said what I said. It's finding the tiny little gains over your opponents that give you PeeWee championships... especially since, at that lowest of levels of play, tiny advantages are all you're gonna get. So if, in a 10 team league, 9 of those teams never put ANY points into confidence... then if you slip 1 or 2 points into yours, then you'll have an advantage. Not a HUGE advantage... but an advantage nonetheless.
