What championship results - in whatever sport - might have ended up with a different result had the rules (such as points allocations for a win/draw/etc.) been as they now currently are?
I'm asking this because I always used to hate the fact that, back in the 70s and 80s, formula 1 used to have what I thought was a silly points system, whereas motorcycle racing (what is now Moto GP) seemed to have it right. Of course, F1 has now adopted such a system, with more points awarded for a win and points awarded further down the order.
However, would that points change have altered anything and are there any other such examples?
