Re: Soccer (Football) fans help me out

Microbob, I wouldn't campaign for the same 3 point system used in soccer. I'd want 3 points for a regulation win, 2 points for an OT/Luck-out win, 1 point for OT/Out-lucked loss. Hmm, actually I still don't like the idea of a loser point. But getting a third of the points instead of half for losing seems better.
Right now you get way too much credit for going to OT, and once in OT teams are basically trying to get to a shootout. I think it'd make for interesting pushes by teams that need points.

Do hockey fans think that the introduction of the shootout has made the 5 minute overtime period less interesting? I would think so.
I think that the system that would make for the most exciting hockey (or soccer) would be no overtime, one point for a win, 0 points for a loss or tie.
