Adjustments will come later so now you have the opportunity to flex your muscle.
Lowering the indexes is just moving numbers around to satisfy the ones who are close to the majic 1.4 under rule.

Ron,
I have to say that makes no sense at all. It isn't the "trigger" they're afraid of, it's the HP adjustment. So it does not matter that there is no "trigger", you still get HP. What you propose is removal of the 1.4 under instant HP Monday morning, correct? And the 1.14 under trigger for "evaluation" remains in effect? Hell, people work just as hard now not to hit 1.14 under as they do 1.4 under. HP is HP, it does not matter if you get it tomorrow, or 6 months later, it's still HP. And you'll still get as much, too. Hell, just for fun look into it and find out if, over all, more HP isn't given by evaluation than by the instant Monday HP after a 1.4 under shot. A smart guy with a fast car will work to avoid a 1.14 under pass if at all possible, and by doing so will also avoid a 1.4 under pass. Taking away the 1.4 under instant HP won't change that for damned sure. And there's a LOT more "bracket mode", "sandbagging", and "dumping" to avoid 1.14 under than there is to avoid 1.4 under. I just don't see what your suggestion will accomplish at all, at least with regards to your stated goal.
