It didn't say so, but it is indeed the case:
Code:
Match type Q
Year Total Points Foul Points % Foul
2012 255330 19194 7.5%
2013 778520 41320 5.3%
2014 1576037 188080 11.9%
Match type E
Year Total Points Foul Points % Foul
2012 92904 3876 4.2%
2013 242568 9031 3.7%
2014 404948 33670 8.3%
Match types Q & E
Year Total Points Foul Points % Foul
2012 348234 23070 6.6%
2013 1021088 50351 4.9%
2014 1980985 221750 11.2%
This is from the same data referenced in the other post. The raw point totals don't really matter due to different scoring rules and different number of matches counted, but percentages may be directly compared.
Every way I've broken it down, foul scoring was a significantly bigger factor in the 2014 data set than it was in 2012 and 2013 ones.
