The number of offsides calls was greater before this choice was instituted, especially before 2 pt. scoring was adopted. The only other possibility for repeated half-the-distance situation fouling by B was to award a score, and officials would always allow a couple of offsides before thinking about that, so it could delay the game a bit. Some of you may know I consider the whole try a delay of the game, but at least they improved this detail.
