[QUOTE="j'nuh, post: 743233, member: 55446"] I don't like it. My main problem is that it would lead to lots of draws. 2 points is worth so little next to 8, that teams will nearly always go for the 8. Penalties will only be used to break deadlocks later in the game, or for teams to draw in line with the multiples of 8 (e.g. if you are losing 16-6, you might consider scoring a penalty so that you are only a score behind). It will cause scores to mostly be in multiples of 8. Union doesn't have so many scores comparative to league. So you're more likely to score draws. [/QUOTE]
