Graham Posted March 5 Share Posted March 5 (edited) NRL ladder explained The NRL has a simple points system: victorious teams earn two points for a victory, while losing teams earn zero for a loss. There are two points for a bye. If a match is tied at the end of 80 minutes of regulation time, there are two five-minute halves of golden point, where any score will be the match-deciding one, be it a field goal, try, or penalty goal. The match immediately ends at that stage. If the two teams play out a scoreless golden point period, the match will be declared a draw, with both teams earning one point. There have been 12 draws since the introduction at the start of 2003, averaging to one draw a year. The teams with the most points will finish higher on the NRL ladder.

hw88 Posted March 23 Share Posted March 23 Anyone know why they get 2 points for a bye? Surely 0 points would be more logical. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes it’s a question a few of us have asked over the years. It seems like something for nothing. The Australian Rugby League Forum Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Graham Posted March 23 Author Share Posted March 23 2 points for a bye. I have found this on the internet suggesting it has historic reasons: Quote Because in the early years of the competition, some years when there was uneven amount of teams causing a bye also meant that some years had uneven amount of games played, so some teams would play more games then others. To compensate the sides who played less games, when they had a bye they received two points. A bit of a clunky way of explaining. Does that stack up anyone?

Does that stack up anyone? That's even stranger! If you don't play everyone twice or play the same number of games then just go on percentages like they did over here.
