for the touchdown when close. You could calibrate it so the average team is indifferent or slightly benefits from going on 4th.

I don’t like this. End of the game and the offense is down by 4 with a minute

Why are you assuming a 35 yarder is 4 points and a longer one is 5 points?

Hypothetical. Same thing could apply regardless of the different point values.

Ya I wouldn't do your hypothetical. I would make the close ones less points

Make it a target. Bullseye is 3 points, then 2, then 1 for barely making it

Give the end zone 5 more yards

And wider too? Nah, just longer kicks - CFL has the post at the goal line
