just came to me that in the nab cup this year it could get a little confusing determining how well the players will go because of the 20 minute halves system,
how good would a good score be?
just food for thought
yeah, i'm wondering how reliable NAB cup form will be this year as a form predictor/indicator for the season proper ... ???
especially also playing games back to back
I believe the matches are only like that for the 1st round and after that they go back tot he normal ones... I could be wrong though.
yer they are, but teams are knocked out during the 1st round so half or more wont play a full length game
NAB Cup has always been a shower indicator anyway. I don't base many picks at all from it, the only thing I base on it is fitness.

We still get NAB challenge stats, every team will have 3 full games.

ah yes, forgot about the challenge, :)
not to worry then
Add up the scores from both the games ???
You'll still be able to determine how good a player's score is based on how the rest of the team went.
We'll have to wait and see what types of scores will come out of the NAB, but the total points scored won't matter...just look at how players perform compared to the rest of their team and from there you should be able to judge if they'll do alright in the real season.
Hope that made sense
The scoring system in the NAB cup/challenge is normally different for SC anyway.
how so?
All i can think of is supergoals..?
The major change is that normally SC scores are normalised so that they total 3300 (scores are rounded to whole numbers so the total may be upto 4-5 either side of 3300).
This number is different in NAB games. I can't remember off the top of my head what it is, but the change accounts for the reduced game time, larger bench and other rule changes (like supergoals). I would assume the changes are made such that the scores can almost be equated to a proper game, but you really should follow them as a basic guide.
When you take into account reduced game time, potential game strategy experimentation and testing various young guys, you really can't even compare a player's scores relative to the other players in their team.
You are much better off looking at the strategies and the way they test young guys to make some judgements on how they will play in the season proper instead of taking the performance (and SC scores) at face value.
yer, really great pont hawk :)

Very true Hawk. The scores will not be greatly accurate but looking at what role your players are playing in will reveal if they may score well during the season.

Spot on! As an example, apart from the rookies, one player I am going to watch very closely is Foley to see how he is used. Given that Hardwick is still teaching Richmond his game plan, there will not be the experimentation you might see with teams further up the ladder. So how Foley is used will most likely mirror his role through out the year. He has amazing upside for fantasy. if he is used on ball or as a linking player off the half back flank on wing.
