It always drove me nuts when Harry Neale kept going on with the ‘why not give both teams a point for a tie and let them play for an extra point in OT’
Some games are worth 3 points. Some are worth 2. It’s ####ed up
I think there are a couple of reasons they don’t give 3 points for a win. As other said, the artificial parity the current system creates, plus the change that comes with comparing season point totals against history
But mainly artificial parity
Plus, the current system allows them to push point totals upward for record setting purposes
