Hello,
League Admins require feedback from the community to make changes happen faster, I feel this is worthy of change and discussion, especially considering ESEA's scoring system has deep legacy roots in the way Counter-Strike was and still is played, however we're not Counter-Strike.
Possible arrangements:
ETF2L and ozfortress use:
timelimit 30, windiff 5
Rewind II, Copenhagen Games, and future Essentials.tf cups are probably going to use:
timelimit 30, winlimit 5
PugChamp uses:
timelimit 30, windiff 2, win diff min 5 (win if won at least 5 rounds and is 2 rounds ahead)
To avoid ruining potential comebacks, we could raise the windiff to 3.

ESU/Essentials.tf are still open to feedback and haven't made a final decision.
It's probably too late for ESEA to change (and it would time to adjust their server plugin), but ETF2L and ozfortress are still off-season. If not this season, let's aim for next one. Not to forget PugChamp, who probably has the biggest matches played and watched, can change any time they want.
If you have any strong feeling against this change, please explain why in detail and with examples;
If you've ever played in high/IM/prem/invite and feel neutrally or positively towards this change, please post in here that you do, your voice matters a lot.
Let's just get it over with.
