Re: Re: Actually....
NPPL did it as a hang over from 10 man I guess. The customer was used to 8 games and didnt expect any more.
The MS have set a standard that they should champion.
If only it were as simple (and weak as that!!)

I stand corrected Nick, please forgive me for being so Millennium like (or stupid whicheverOriginally posted by Nick Brockdorff
- it's 450 games
100 teams playing 8 games is 350 games
You can run around 60 seven minute games in a day on one field (6 per hour), so the MS maximum saves 1 field if they don't get more teams entered by cutting the number of games per team.

Uh, 100 teams playing 8 games is 400 games.
Or you could just note that 8 is 20% les than 20, so it's 20% fewer games no matter how many teams there are. So if you needed 5 fields before, you'll need 4 fields now.
20% reduction in the cost of fields and refs, given the same number of teams.

Actually it isn't
Help us mathematically challenged
That's the classic formula for 10 team round robin, which means 9 games/team. Where do you get your 10th game from?

I must be thick too at this time in the morning
If I'm promised 8 games and the rest of the teams are promised 8 games too, we get 8x100 teams = 800 games. Since every game involves 2 teams we divide and get 400.
This is not the case:
Then again, bear with me, I just jumped out of bed ;D

since they are promising 8 games, not groups of 8 teams playing round robin.
