5-point matches will be no longer counted by BMAB. Previously, BMAB allowed up to 25% of players' total EP come from 5-pointers, but it had a very little benefit and caused a lot of confusion and difficulties in processing data. Exclusion of 5-pointers rule was voted by the Executive Panel and in effect immediately. Old data, of course, will not be affected by this rule change. In some cases (e.g. when health conditions prevent a player from traveling) BMAB may still allow players to get some 5-pointers in.
