The only value in having the current system is that it sets out the maximum points obtainable as 164 points in a normal season, regardless of how those wins are obtained. In a 3-2-1 system, the only difference is that to obtain the maximum number of points, all wins have to be in regulation rather than in circus time or the skills competition. What's wrong with that?

I understand the circus time or skills competition comments. Let me ask you this. Forgetting entirely about points for a second, do you believe there is a fair way to determine a winner and a loser for every regular season game?
IMO 3 on 3 is a fair way to decide a regular season game.
If you don't believe 3 on 3 on whatever other option is "fair", then I think you need to go back to the tie.
