Im sorry Mr Cranium but i cant agree with you. In a competition involving say, 8 teams in a round robin competition, the bonus point system gives sides a reason to continue to fight when the game is all but lost. There is the incentive because an extra point may be the difference between making the finals or not making them. This was the basis of my support for the idea when it was first put to me several years ago. I helped refine the system and get it off the ground by heavilly promoting the idea to the ICC.
