Abstract
The aim of this paper is to analyse recent rule changes pertaining to bonus points as agreed upon by Netball Australia. The system introduces points for winning a quarter. The analysis suggests a number of scenarios that should be considered so that there is minimal impact to the competition, and to avoid the very high likelihood of action by teams against the competition given contentious scenarios. There are two key points to the direction of this work: The value of a game - scenarios that can occur when comparing two games' outcomes that are seen as inequitable and the impact on a season - what can occur based upon variations in results that affect the sense of fairness in light of winning games. There is a multiplicity of possibilities that underlie this work, however for effectiveness we present some of the more probable scenarios foreseen against the actualities of the 2018 season. We look at how behaviours have changed, and how teams affected used the system to their advantage or suffered due to its weaknesses. We consider the effects on the outcomes of a game, and how the season is changed by these in-game point allocations.
