2pt

2pt is an abbreviation that can refer to several different concepts across sports, typography, and measurement. Its meaning depends on context and field.

In basketball, a two-point shot refers to any field goal scored from inside the three-point line, worth two points. In scorekeeping, "2pt" is often used as shorthand in box scores and play-by-play logs to indicate a successful two-point field goal, in contrast to "3pt" for a three-pointer.

In American football, a two-point conversion is a play following a touchdown that awards the team two points if the ball is advanced into the opponent's end zone by running or passing. The attempt is commonly called a two-point conversion rather than simply "2pt."

In typography, "2pt" denotes a font size of two typographic points. One point equals 1/72 of an inch, so 2pt is about 0.0278 inches (0.70 millimeters). This size is small and is typically used for footnotes or fine print in historical or specialized typesetting contexts.

Other uses of the abbreviation exist in measurement and technical notation, where "pt" stands for point; the specific meaning of "2pt" should be inferred from the domain, as it can signify two points of length, a two-point scale, or a two-point data reference in various charts and analyses.
