People don’t seem to be getting their heads around how the scoring is impacted.
What’s changing is the variance of scores. Low scores get worse, and high scores get inflated. Because the implication is that what the players are doing in the shortened game, will be extrapolated identically as if they are playing a full quarter. This is the only way for the 3300 to be catered for, which is why we are seeing extreme scores.
You can look at at Heeney having 8 touches, and say that’s not worth 89 points under the old scoring (ie Full length quarters). Because it’s not. The 89 is a (full game) inference based on what he’s done in the limited time.
