I've never got the whole 6 quarter concept, it's aqn improper fraction to begin with and I don't really see the point.

Thoughts anyone?

To build up to 8 quarters...or 8 eighths.

3 quarters for the Bs, 3 Quarters for the A's .

Time efficiency generally.

Correct, at times it can be difficult to fit 2x full games in, where as 6 quarters gives everyone a decent hit out

It's most useful when one side hasn't got enough fit blokes to play 2 full games. You can either give some guys a half or you can give 32 blokes a full game without asking some to play a lot more. Friday nights don't suit everyone and often a few blokes have a cricket final the following day and don't want to get hurt so getting 2 full sides can be tough.

They should just play shorter quarters. I see some clubs swap their players over after the 3rd stanza, some start dribbling them through the 3rd, I just think it's pointless and not a true sreflection on the trial.

Don't play full length quarters then! 15 minute quarters, get a few B's to alternat in the later game.

Sorry but there is no such thing as 6 quarters, I thought even you'd kow what I meant but then again it wouldn't instigate an argument.

Six quarters is also equal to three halves.

Which is neither here nor there, there will always be a remainder, my OCD is killing me!

Ha, it just mkaes me laugh, you hear the excuses like: But we only had the wind for a quarter and they had it for two.

It stuffs you up umpiring them too, you can end up being flat out for 5 of the 6 thingo's .

Ground scarcity is generally less of an issue during Football season what with cricket not being played and all.

What would only playing 15 minutes a quarter accomplish that 6 quarters doesn't? Only thing is the players don't get the last 7 or 8 minutes in a quarter, which I wouldn't think was a great preparation.

Still struggling with numbers that aren't integers, eh? I'm sure year 5 maths will come back to you soon enough.
