I remembered what I was going to ask!

Does the style modifier have any effect over the Point-After chances?

I'm still convinced Elo is, in general, a superior method.

A 36-33 Newmanistani win over, say, Free Austin should not be worth as much as a 45-12 Free Austin win over Newmanistan.

Looking at the code, extra point success rate is a flat 97.5%, while the two-point conversion success rate is (32 + style_modifier)%.

So playing as a max defence team that always goes for 2 is putting yourself at a slight disadvantage?

Yes, your two-point rate is 29% in that case.
