    They're bringing GWS in already?

    So how many games and how many byes? I'd hate to get the bye in round 1 or the last round

    The show gets repeated at 8:30pm so I will watch and record.

    They seem to be playong 6 groups made up of 3 teams. Eaxh game is 50 minutes long with a 15 minute break between games. So it is really different.

    GWS is in. Must be 24 rounds. They showed a graph of games so I'll freeze that and go through it.

    I'm guessing each team will get 2 byes per season.

    Ah sorry you are saying gws in for the nab cup

    I believe that shortened format was used at the recently completed Australian country football championships. Each side played three games in one day

    Yes GWS in NAB only. That format sounds right.

    Bye in first and last round would be great, Atleast you start and finish with 4 points.

    I have updated my original post. All dates have been locked in and accurate.

    For detail look at Season 2011:

    Rd 1 to 3 - 8 games
    Rd 4 to 6 - 7 games
    Rd 7 to 13 - 8 games
    Rd 14 and 15 - 7 games
    Rd 16 to 24 - 8 games

    So 19 Rounds of 8 matches, 5 Rounds of 7 matches

    All teams will get 2 byes each year. There will be 1 bye in every round and 2 byes in a round for the weeks indicating 7 games.

    NAB Cup Triangular Series

    There will be six groups of 3 teams, which will play across 2 weekends, including GC and GWS.

    Held at a single venue, there will be 2 halves in a game and the day will go like this:

    15 mins prematch

    Team A plays Team B in Game 1, 45 to 50 mins

    15 Mins break

    Team B plays Team C in Game 2, 45 to 50 mins

    15 Mins Break

    Team A plays Team C in Game 3, 45 to 50 mins

    Team A gets a bit of an advantage not having to play back to back

    I think you mean 3 byes. 1 x 19 + 3 x 5 = 34 = 2 byes per team (17 teams).

    When it was announced back in June the plan was for the winner of the first game to have the break, as a reward. I don't know if they have written it up now to be neat or if the networks have pushed them into a fixed structure.

    Roll up, roll up; win a Cupi Doll. Sounds like a circus atmosphere coming up for the bank cup.

    When the format was first floated, Brad Scott was of the opinion that Team A would be at a disadvantage because of the cooldown factor.

    Given that I'd imagine there will still be a ridiculous number of players allowed on the bench, 2 x 50 minute games back to back shouldn't be a stretch.

    I think he makes a good point.

    .
    As best as I understand and what the commentators said. In the weeks that there are 8 games played - 1 team has a bye. In the weeks that there are 7 games played then 3 teams don't play.

    So each team has 2 byes per season. So the Swans are guaranteed 8 points next year at least. On the graph they put up, they had numbers in the byes column but the commentators made no reference to it and I couldn't work it out as it went up to numbers in the 30's.

    Which is why I'm really excited about it, to be honest. It's all but given that GWS and Sydney will be in the same group and they'll play at Blacktown, just a question of who the third team is. So you've got Izzy's first game of Aussie Rules, Horse's new team (and hopefully game plan ) and some good late summer weather.

    Should be a cracker of a day
