How does the NBL ladder work?

Isaac, everyone is entitled to their opinion and I respect that yours is different to mine. Its not a right or wrong argument, it is only an opinion.

That's not really true Isaac, I am only talking about making it to the playoff positions. Off course the finals are essential. Its the culmination of everything achieved in the regular season. What I also meant about rewarding the team with the best overall result was only between the teams that tied on the win/loss numbers and you then had to use a formula to decide their positions come playoff.

Its been around for years but I personally don't like it. It really doesn't reward the team with the best overall result.

The example given by HO re Adelaide playing Perth demonstrates a stupid system. The competition is against all teams and how they go against each other overall. If Perth won 3 out of 4 games against Adelaide, it does not necessarily mean their overall record over the season is better than Adelaide's. Where more than 1 team end the season on the same number of wins/losses, the positions should be determined by the winning points margin. It should not be about 1 team being better than the other but 1 team being better overall.

The stupid thing is that if two teams are tied on the same win-loss percentage then the ladder position is sorted by the points for and against. But if those two teams are tied at the end of the season, they are placed by their record against each other. Dont maka no sense!
Considering the schedule for the past few seasons has been shithouse in parts, like when teams have completed their seasons series against each other by week 3, then the head to head records can be influenced by an injury to a key player. For and against should be the decider - reward the teams that win by bigger margins.
