I like incentives. If the USBA was beginning anew, I'd have incentives of some sort built in.
In Maelstrom, as spoor mentioned, we have incentives for articles and voting and lineups. However, the incentives are not alluring enough, n my opinion, to make a huge difference. I wrote articles for my team with or without incentives and I've probably written more about my team in the 12 seasons Maelstrom has been around than some divisions combined. However, I've barely spent any of the "incentives" earned during that time. Maybe 10%, if that. It's not enough to make a difference and it certainly has not helped or hindered staying competitive. It's like getting a free turkey from the grocery store at Thanksgiving for buying $100 in groceries. I was going to buy the food anyway so the turkey is nice but not worth extra shopping.

Someday I am going to join a league where incentives make a huge difference (if one ever comes along).
