From BillyMac: Was there ever a time, even for a very brief period of time, when a defensive player, jumping from the two point area of the court, touching a try from behind the three point line, where the try counted as only two points?

If you judged it to be a "pass" or a "throw", you scored a 2. In the 2001-02 season, the FED took the judgment out of the call by adding a "pass" or "throw" to the situations when you still score a 3.
Thanks BayStateRef, and Jurassic Referee. I guess I was dreaming about a problem with the initial three point rule, or mixing it up with the pass, or try, problem.

Going on thirty-six hours and no images. Giving up caffeine was easier than this. I'd love to post an image of a cold turkey here, but I must resist. Is there a twelve step program for inane, irrelevant, idiotic, and annoying image addiction?
