Bruce Harper has draw rules that make use of a 1/3 point:

A quote from that site:' ... tested an anti-draw rule, in which each player had two hours at the start of the first game. If the first game was drawn, each player received 1/3 of a point, then a second game was played with colours reversed, using the remaining time. This continued until one player won, with the winner getting the other 1/3 of a point. '
So, I guess the way I recalled it deviated from reality. I gave someone a
full-point, but the method was awarding 1/3 points? I think I prefer my
all or nothing way as an anti-draw system.
