Since we're bringing up wierd rules, I think my favorite wierd rule was adopted by the CBA years and years ago. I'm sure they've dropped it since then. But they determined the standings in the league not by wins and losses, but on a points-system, like hockey. I'm sure I will get it wrong, but it went something like this: the team that won the game received two points in the standings. Additionally, each quarter of the game was worth one point. Whichever team scored more points in a quarter was awarded a point in the standings. If the teams scored the same number of points in any given quarter, they each received one half of a point. So even if you lost the game, you could add a couple points to your record and gain ground on the team ahead of you in the standings.
Just showing my age. Sorry
