[QUOTE="Bullitt, post: 236682"] The Rugby union bonus points system is a method of deciding table points from a rugby union match. It was implemented in order to encourage attacking play throughout a match, to discourage repetitive goal-kicking, and to reward teams for "coming close" in losing efforts. * No points are awarded for losing, unless bonus points are involved. * As few as 4 points, but as many as 7 points (6 points in France—see below), can be awarded to the two teams combined. No team can get more than 5 points in a match. Under the standard system, points are awarded as follows: * 4 points for a win. * 2 points for a draw. * 1 "bonus" point for scoring 4 tries (or more). * 1 "bonus" point for losing by 7 points (or fewer).
