This will not encourage positive play seeking the ultimate score of Ippon.

With only two scores athletes will become risk adverse and will be more patient to attack. The consequence is that we will see longer grip fights, lesser attacks and more penalties.

In general:
I think that renewing the rules has to happen before an Olympic cycle. This creates clearity for athletes and coaches.

BJJ on the other hand has focussed on building dojo culture and making their sport about excellence. Judo is in danger of being overtaken by BJJ in the future, even though BJJ is just judo with Taisho period rules. 2020 would be an ideal time to bring back the 1964 rules and focus on a rule set that makes judoka, adaptable and rewards people for good technique. Ippon throws are the sudden death element that we all love in judo but we don't want to make it into a kind of 'jacket Sumo' where any score produces a win. Sumo is a great spectator sport but judo is a sport with educational goals that make it relevant to our everyday lives. Please protect the spirit of judo and stop changing judo to suit the spectator. To use the analogy of beer: Guinness didn't become popular by becoming more like larger. It was made popular by marketing it for what it is.

Aside from that having multiple scores on scoreboard make for more exciting matches.

Also in overtime, it is a good thing to allow the match to be decided by a technical score, but you need something like koka (1 point), instead of wazari (5 points) because often the match can drag on for very long.
