Episode #44 is our annual follow up of a statistical analysis of how the new 3-point takedown has affected our sport. MatStats analyzes the number of scoring moves, total points per match, Margin of Victory, the change in the frequency of majors & techs, and is it time to adjust the MOV needed for a major and tech?
