One side says that it makes Q3 more enjoyable and should be implement for Tournament play and the other side is saying that Q3 should be left as it is-at least when it comes to playing in high profile tournaments such as the cpl.

Hate to say it, but as much as the mod may 'improve' gameplay changing the physics and weapon dynamics is a bit over the top and if anything will just split the Quake3 players even more. I like the mod, but I dont see CPL or anyone actually using it. This thread from October of last year with a quote from John Carmack on pro-mode should be of interest.
