Moderator's Note: Please have more descriptive titles so people know what they're clicking on. Also, this is a really vague question that will just lead to more questions but just FYI. Also I made this a poll. Sigh.

If a team has a fun to see, crazy mela going on than I would very much prefer that over a 3 man tower. The only prob I seen with melas is that with the exception of SGPD Burgh, SGPD Groundshaker (mostly just because the moving mela was creative as hell) Nachdey Gabru Jawani 2k8, or like NSJ Jawani 2k8 (mela song is still my ringtone lol), I feel like melas aren't that exciting to watch. But if a team can kinda set up like an "organized chaos" going on with everyone going crazy, then it's actually fun to watch as opposed to something that doesn't add to the performance at all. But meh, that might just be my sole opinion..

And as much as 3 man towers are cool to see, teams are competing at a BHANGRA comp. I remember my brother saying that at the last bhangra comp we went too, he felt that at times he felt he was watching a gymnastics comp as opposed to a bhangra comp what with all the emphasis on stunts. I mean, there's def something wrong if people come away only amazed at/remembering the stunts in your performance right?
