Why reward that?<br /><br />This is almost what the AFL have done now, and it really only reduces the blow-out games... which is a different tinkering of the draw... to effect results (and the cosmetic look of the game) and not to make the draw fair and even.The FMIhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00119761964589349965noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2932408536664759389.post-61986905441282887612013-02-12T06:33:48.798+11:002013-02-12T06:33:48.798+11:00I am with you on the 3 groups of 6 system, though ...I am with you on the 3 groups of 6 system, though I would contend the ideal solution would be for the system for determining these conferences not be geographic, but based on the previous year's ladder.<br />So 1-6 is one conference, 7- 12 is another, and 13-18 the third.<br />Each year these conferences change.<br />So teams that finish down the ladder play two games against other teams that finish down the ladder, and similarly top teams play each other twice as well. This helps the AFL maintain their blockbuster fixture (yes, I deliberately use the word) as well as being more fair than the existing verions. rmeredhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01841936561059443209noreply@blogger.com
