Do you prefer one or two nocking points? If you ansewr is one, do you nock the arrow above or below the nocking point?
Definitely two, also helps to keep the arrow from moving at the shot if your nocks are a little loose, seen it happen to a friend and he couldn't figure out why he was getting squirrely flight until I mentioned it
I use one and nock the arrow above it. Always have and I don't see any reason to change but I don't see a lot of advantage either.
I use two, even though I shoot split finger.
Two. No disadvantage to it, and slow-motion photography has shown the nock can slide on the string at release with just one.
I use two, but did use one some time ago. Then, I nocked under. That way you can hang the bow with an arrow nocked and it won't fall off the bow. If you nock above the nock, that can happen.
I use two. Less room for mistakes that way.
I use 2. Will continue as long as I can afford the extra few inches of serving...
Two!
If I shoot a bow with one, I nock below the nocking point.

Two tied on, probably need only one but why risk it?
Two, tied on. If only one the arrow goes under to prevent the bottom fingers from shoving the arrow nock up and out of place.
Two always
2
2. I started with one, but have found I get more consistant flight with 2, on every bow I have experimented with. Must negate some release error I have.
I use two for hunting and one for tuning or summer shooting. With one, I nock under.
I can nock above and have tried that for the experience of it as inspired by John Schulz, as used when using a back quiver.
Whatever you get used to. I can very accurately use no nock at all...dead reckoning and that works when in a pinch as well.
Good Luck!

One. Under. When I was a kid I knew a bunch of people that nocked over. A couple of years ago, I bought a flea market bow with one nock. It shot lousy until I inadvertently nocked over. It shot fine then, so I guess some still do that.
I use both and do not believe I have ever had an issue with either

two nock point video (https://youtu.be/qjRtpBinyLQ)
One above made with dental floss. Used to put model airplane glue on it to harden it but don't now. Tried the press on type and keep some in my tool box, but don't like them. Dental floss has worked for me since 1962, so have not changed.
2 for me as well.
Two for me as well. I use to shoot one and nocked below it.
I thought you were talking about a great sponsor here on Tradgang. The nocking point, you should give them a look.
I have always used two it is imperative with shooting 3 under as the video bow fanatic posted shows. When I went back to shooting split I still used 2 just made sense to illiminate any sliding.
Until I started watching the John Schulz. Videos on YouTube. His nocking method was with one nock point and he nocks above. With his method ( Howard Hill method) handling the arrow by the nock ( back quiver) he could nock an arrow faster without looking down at the string by trapping the sting nocking the arrow to the string then sliding the nock to the point rotate his hand draw and shoot.
I now have adopted this style but instead of nocking above like John and Howard hill I nock below and slide up as Orion said when hanging my bow on a hook my nock won't slide up. I have not noticed any difference in my accuracy after going from 2 to 1 nock point. And I can gab an arrow nock it and be ready to shoot without taking my eyes of my target not even for a second.
If you never watched Johns videos you need too. Even if his Howard Hill method isn't for you it's worth a watch.

Two tie on .
I would not use nocks that were so tight that slippage down the string wasn't an issue.
If you use a nocking point above your arrow a change in arrow diameter will lower your nocking point. When the nocking point is under the arrow it does not make any difference when I change shafts on my longbow. I do use two on some strings, but the upper one is set wide and only for keeping an arrow in a ready position. I tuck the arrow to the lower one when I shoot.
Two for me and here's how I prefer to tie them.
