SPP for sacks?

My dear friend the halfling Slurp has a comment on that!
Slurp: "He you big guy, me small one. Me make pass in game. Hééé caught bal. We heroes now! That why we want SPP".

Wow, he's left Bluetooth, but he wasn't happy!

Just keep it as it is. Elfs buid up more easy, but they break more easy as well.

Oh well, I can see my faulty reasoning.

Maybe we can say that this would just widen the gap between flair and bash teams concerning SPPs, without increasing that "break faster" bit, Draco mentioned.

Anyway, general census seems to be "no."

Well, I just knew it would boil down to this.

Wasn't that quite obvious?

Maybe it unbalancing with a few more SPP per game, but I think not. Ppl would alter tactics and play along. Maybe not pick up the ball at all occations, but protect it at ground instead. Maybe protect ballcarrier even more... Take Dump Off more... I do not think it would be very unbalancing.

Maybe my point here is not that I think that sacks should be rewarded, but (as mentioned) I dont think useless passes and stupid blocks are something worth awarding with SPP. Sacks is at least something that always is a Good Thing (tm). You always want to knock the ball away from the other team. Or?
