Even though I voted Yes, I always will have my concern about the scoring of each. I would almost prefer a permanent set of judges (even for the CCL), but knowing this is an impossibility, I will just have to see how it plays out.
I will say two things:
1. Though this system does represent a change to how things are now, in effect I don't see how there is that much more potential for abuse under the new system.
2. That said, the "Committee," which will at least include the forum moderators, will serve as oversight for the games. If we feel that there is any sort of improper behavior happening, I personally have no problems with stepping in to intervene. Gaming the system is something I will be watching for.
EDIT: After some thought, the extent of the "intervention" I'm talking about would be stripping a problematic game of the MQ status and points. I wouldn't want to actually meddle with a game in progress.

Well I would be more opt to be watching for various patterns that would be conducive to any type of abuse. Although I would understand and know that evidence of such would have to be solid. I mean, just to be on the safe side and all.
Either way, like I said, it's just my little concern, which is usually nothing major overall.
This will be the official account for all things related to the CCC&G Pro Tour. As of now nobody but Megiddo has access, but access will be expanded to those who need it as the time comes.
MirrorEntity expressed concern about compiling scores; this account is meant to alleviate that concern. If you are running a monthly game, when that game concludes you are responsible for sending a PM to this account with the relevant final results of that game. That would be the final scores of the MCC final round, the top 8 DCC players for that month in order, etc.
A little bit of work for everybody will make the process that more efficient in total.
Because it appears that we are going to be implementing the Pro Tour, based on the votes, I would ask that people start doing this with February's games.
Please format the PM's title as such: "MCC February 2012 Final Results" so that whoever is accessing the account at the time doesn't need to struggle.
Eventually we'll set up an official discussion thread for the Pro Tour, but that comes later.
