Superthread LXVI: Honouring Whinging Dragons Fans

[Bazal]

I didn't say that Origin has to be played on a weekend. Have it on whatever night 9 wants. I'm just saying club games shouldn't be played on the weekends before Origin.

Have some 2nd tier nations play or something.

Souths?

 

[Bulldog Force]

Meh. I insist we move BM and BFs rubbish to a separate thread too.

seconded

Thirded!

If anything the season needs to be longer, with the exception of grid-iron the NRL has a very short season compared to other sports.

I agree there should be rematches. A 15 round comp would see that though (8 games a week, remember, so 15 would see all teams play twice).

My problem is we've played NZ twice already. Makes no sense.

Just stop.

 

[Drew-Sta]

you've been to the 'waldron school of mathematics' i see...

they'd only play each other once... 16 team comp means that your own team has 15 other teams to play...

Just stop.

I'm going to blame manflu and then take DL's advice. Sorry gents, grade A Derp-Sta right there :crazy:

 

[BunniesMan]

Should have passed it off as a joke. That's how I read it.

 

[Drew-Sta]

Nah, I derped.

Its ok though. Sometimes you say and do stupid things. The key is to accept you've done it, acknowledge you said something stupid and then learn from the experience by thinking a little harder in the future

No point lying over it. It would just make me look sillier than I already do :lol:

Just to have a bit of a nerdgasm as an aside for a moment, round robin tournaments with n teams are represented by complete graphs with n vertices.

i.e 15 round NRL competition would be represented by

where each vertex is a team and each edge is a match played between two teams. Each round consists of taking 8 edges from the above graph, where no vertex can be used twice, i.e no adjacent edges. There is a theorem that say this is possible to do 15x and then you'll have accounted for every edge in this type of graph.

That's how they do the basics of match scheduling. Awesome, no?

 

[BunniesMan]

I got dizzy starting at the pretty picture.

 

[Skinner]

You guys have been on stillnox and V.......oh, hang on..

the boffins at the nrl use crayons, no rulers and draw 24 lines from 16 points

you should check that out
