Some high level FIDE tnmts have recently adopted a rule in which you get 1 pt for a draw and 3 pts for a win.
Joe, nothing personal but don't hold your breath waiting for your rule to be adopted. Check out this link for more info on reducing draws:

I feel like chess would be more popular if a higher percentage of games were decisive (not drawn). Any ideas of a minor tweak to the rules that might reduce the number of draws?
Here's mine: Starting at move 40, pawns are allowed to move laterally (along a rank), one square at a time (normal pawn moves are still permitted as well). But they are not allowed to capture laterally (just like they can move forward, but can't capture forward).
