Good question.
For me, it doesn't matter a whole lot. I don't have depth perception, so, for me, a routine is very important. I try to get my rythym going as soon as I can. Traffic can be a problem, but that's the was it is.
I have a thread going in the Rules section. I'd like to see a rule that at least has grids based on points. If you've got input, I'd like to have it. I haven't submitted it, but I'd like to get it developed first. Obviously, I'm looking to 2008.
