This week on Unfiltered, Trigger and Kensai dive head-first into the strange, confusing, and downright ridiculous world of sporting rules and scoring systems.
Why does Formula One give you points for finishing 10th but not 11th? Why is “love” actually zero in ATP Tour scoring? Who decided a try in Rugby World Cup is worth five but a conversion is two? And how did National Football League invent a sport where you can score 2, 3, 6, or 1 point — sometimes all in the same minute?
From birdies and bogeys in PGA Tour, to confusing run rates in international cricket, to the chaos of technical fouls in the National Basketball Association, the boys attempt (and struggle) to break down how scoring actually works — and question whether any of it makes sense.
Expect hot takes, questionable explanations, and at least one moment where Trigger confidently explains something completely wrong.
If you’ve ever watched sport and thought, “Why is it like this?” — this one’s for you.
Unfiltered. Unqualified. Unapologetic.
