    What’s wrong with 6 quarters? As a mathematician do you have a problem with 3 quarters?

    In my statement a quarter means one 20 minute playing period.

    Sorry barra, didn't mean to cast aspersions on the veracity of your statement. It's just that when I read it the first time it sounded like something a satirical news site like the Betoota Advocate would write. Looking forward to the 6 quarters.

    It's probably best if they are not called "Sixths". Hopefully the 5th and 6th quarters are treated equally to their earlier more
    traditional brethren. I'd hate for them to feel excluded in any way.

    I don't mind 6 quarters as a sum, but I do mind dividing one match into 6 quarters.

    Sorry it was a typically poor attempt at humour it was not intended to be taken seriously.

    6 quarters is actually 1 and 1/2 games.

    Think of it as traveling the circumference of a circle for 3 radians. It doesn't feel so bad then.

    Wasn't the 6 periods for this Saturday in the scratch match? Has the week followings community series game also been extended?

    I support you 110%.
    My opinion is objective truth in its purest form
