In fact, a slim majority said that they would favor making 3 pointers from the NA zones with a large portion having no comment. I have no strong opinion either way.

The first level challenge is to define the problem (or even if there is
one).  Then to define what the scoring should optimize.  Only then can you
rationally discuss the options.

Maintaining the status quo is strong with reflector readers.

Hi and thanks for all the comments.

I am persuaded by the arguments in favor of retaining the 2 point rule
for NA. In fact those arguments apply to other continents as well and IMO
applying the 2 point rule equally across the globe for all intra-
continental Qs would seem to go a long way toward reducing by half the
penalty for crossing over arbitrary continental boundaries (3-2 vs 3-1).

Would this rule change be an affront to anyone's sense of good
sportsmanship and fair play?
