Nobody likes my idea of awarding 1.5 points for a win and 1 point for a draw
and zero points for losing. This would shake up pre-arranged draws by
offering cheaters less points than they could have scored otherwise, and
also award players going for a win.

You must have mis-wrote your values. As stated you would be encouraging
draws because the players would receive 1 point each for a total of 2,
while with a win-loss they would only get a total of 1.5.
