I’m not sure where the idea that bonus play is not competitively relevant comes from – though as Andrew notes, it wouldn’t particularly matter if it were true – but there is a plethora of data to test this on because almost everyone hosts their statistics on the hsquizbowl.org Tournament Database. The fact that tournaments, by design, do not feature exclusively competitive games means that many games are not “competitively relevant” and cannot be decided by bonuses, but that has no bearing on the “competitive relevance” of bonuses. (And, indeed, those games are important to the overall function of a tournament and quizbowl as a whole...just like bonuses.)
) is data for the 2020–2021 ACF tournaments that kept statistics using YellowFruit. Bonus conversion is incredibly relevant at all levels of the college game, and is frequently the margin in any game that where the teams get within 2-tossups (which are themselves 20-35% of
games at a tournament). (Only one data point in this set featured a team overcoming a 3-tossup deficit.)
Note: this does not include data points where bonus points were the deciding factor for the winning team because they negged, though that is another way that bonuses can decide a game.
