Tahiti FA now awards 1 point for loss

A recent, bizarre rule change in Tahitian soccer has softened the blow for losing teams considerably.
Tahiti’s Football Association have revamped their scoring system in the domestic leagues so that winners now pick up four points instead of three, a draw yields two points, and losers pick up one point. Yes, losing teams now literally get rewarded just for showing up.
And here’s the kicker: it’s all because they “don’t want anyone to be sad.”

But you feel less sad leaving the game with a point, right?

This. Nothing actually changes. Now players will be sad cause they only get 1 point. I'm rathered confused by tahiti's tactics.

Why not make it 400 points for a win, 200 for a draw, 100 for a loss?

It does change things. Two draws now equal one win. Whereas before, it took three draws to equal a win.

Also, two losses equal a draw, whereas before 100 losses still would not equal a draw.
