Talk:McIntyre System
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
- This is the first full page I've done - just quickly to link to the National Rugby League page. I am aware the system operates in other competitions, not sure which ones - thankyou to the person who added English competition. I'm not sure whether the History in the NRL section should be there, but I left it anyway for someone to get rid of if it is irrelevent. Please let me know of problems with my page, so I can learn...Thanks - AlbinoMonkey.
[edit] Different McIntyre Systems
- I just found out there are more than one form of the McIntyre System - it actually started in 1913 as a Final Four system, and Ken McIntyre has created several different versions, including Final Six and Final Eight, the one discussed on this page. Should there be a different page for each one, or just different sections on this one page. I will make necessary changes once I have researched each more. - AlbinoMonkey
- The McIntyre systems were used in the VFL/AFL between 1931 and I think 1999. They have been known as the McIntyre Final Four, Final Five, Final Six and Final Eight. There were two Final Six systems - the first one used in 1992 was deemed insatisfactory. See the book "The Complete Book of AFL Finals" by Graeme Atkinson for detailed information.
[edit] Rewrite
- I have rewritten this article to make it clear that there is more than one McIntyre System, but it still needs work. The original article is now at McIntyre Final Eight System in a slightly altered form. It might be better to just put all the McIntyre Systems in one article and maybe all finals systems for that matter. A discussion of the pros and cons of each system and the percentage chances of winning from each position would be a good idea I think.
- thanks, good work... i'll be able to put some more effort into this soon. AlbinoMonkey (Talk) 08:31, 23 Jun 2005 (UTC)
[edit] McIntyre Systems
I have put on to a page tabular descriptions of each of the McIntyre finals systems that have been used in the VFL/AFL (and some oter systems that I have come across). Should I put them, or something like them, on this page? --ThirdEdition 03:43, 21 September 2005 (UTC)
