This sequence reflects the now common 3-point rule of international football where the sum of total points awarded depends on the outcome of each match. The classical 2-point rule is equivalent to that for chess tournaments (A007747).

			For 2 teams there are 2 possible outcomes: [0, 3] and [1, 1], so a(2) = 2.
For 3 teams the outcomes are [0, 3, 6], [1, 3, 4], [3, 3, 3], [1, 1, 6], [1, 2, 4], [0, 4, 4] and [2, 2, 2], so a(3) is 7. Note that the outcome [3, 3, 3] can be obtained in two ways: (A beats B, B beats C, C beats A) or (B beats A, A beats C, C beats B).

			For n=2 the possible outcomes are [0,6] and [1,4], so a(2)=2.  The other possible outcomes [2,2] and [3,3] do not have distinct point totals.

A064422 allows teams to have the same point total.
