A loss is a loss though, where do you draw the line. What if the field goal is 1 second before the siren? Personally I don't like the fact teams can lose in GP without even getting a chance to touch the ball

I reckon Newcastle would have the record for most losses in Golden Point.

The trouble with giving out 1 point each and then a 2 for winning is there's 3 points available. If a team loses, they lose.

I think IF you're going to go with that give the winner one point because they couldn't get it done in normal time. Not a point for losing.

So what ?

Bonus points to the loser for the score being within 4 points, bonus point for scoring more than X number of tries. Has super rugby got it that wrong ?
A game could be worth as many as 4 points it could be worth nothing. So if you get beat by 50 you lose by 3-4 points on the table compared to be being beaten by 1 point and only losing 1 point on the table.

What it does mean, that come to the back end of the season when half the teams make the semis you will have more teams in the running and more possibilities based on not only wins, but scores. Hence more interest, bigger TV ratings, more $$$ blah blah blah.

Almost sounds like The Alt is right.

3 points in a Golden Point Game doesn't work because it means over the course of a season, not all teams have played for the same amount of points, so you couldn't simply implement that rule.

In Rugby, the bonus point thing is a debacle.  4 teams had better seasons than the Stormers, but because of the points and the conferences, the Stormers finished 3 and they shouldn't have even been playing in the finals.

Of course the best solution is to abandon golden point in regular season games altogether, and for finals games play 10 minutes each way before playing field goal shoot-out
