 AFL finals system - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The current AFL finals system was devised by the Australian Football League in 2000 as its end-of-season championship playoff tournament.
It is a revision of the McIntyre Final Eight System, used by the AFL from 1994 to 1999, designed to address several perceived issues with that system.
The system is designed to give the top four teams an easier road to the Grand Final, as two of those teams receive a bye in the second week of the playoff, while the other two play at home in the second week.

The system the Clinton administration was developing was estimated to cost from $30 billion to $60 billion.
Critics argue that even if the system works, it's not worth the money because the more likely threat from terrorists or rogue nations is not from ballistic missiles, but from bombs or chemical weapons or a nuclear weapon delivered in a suitcase.
McINTYRE: The United States eventually hopes to get the cooperation with some of its allies, particularly with the placement of radars to help track potential missiles from adversaries.

 Carroll v. Whitney, No. W1997-00246-SC-R11-CV (Tenn. 10/04/2000)
Relying upon McIntyre, the defendants attempted to assert as an affirmative defense that a nonparty, the plaintiff's employer, caused or contributed to the plaintiff's injuries.
In McIntyre, we partially abandoned the doctrine of contributory negligence which barred any recovery for damages and adopted a system of comparative fault under which a plaintiff may recover damages for an injury provided that his or her own negligence in causing the injury is less than the fault of the defendant.
We did not, for example, adopt a "pure" system of comparative fault under which a plaintiff's recovery is completely linked to his or her fault and under which a plaintiff does not have to be less at fault than a defendant in order to recover.

 Thomas M. McIntyre, Ph.D.
The area we explore is the biology of the vascular system ranging from the angiogenesis that is essential for tumor growth and metastasis to the rapid trafficking of cells in an inflammatory setting.
Inflammation is particularly informative because the events that constitute this essential defense system are subject to multiple forms of regulation and because rapid changes in cell function are the rule.
PAF activates most cells of the inflammatory system at exceedingly low concentrations, and as expected its presence is tightly controlled.

 Rleague.com - The World of Rugby League
Interestingly, the system now used by the AFL was originally under the operation of Rugby League back in the mid '90s but for some reason League decided to copy the AFL who were using the McIntyre system only for the other code to later decide it was not for them.
The problem I have with the McIntyre system is that it does not reward the top ranked sides (in particular Teams 3 and 4) as much as the AFL system.
While in the AFL system, fourth is placed similarly to first, if you are good enough to be in the top four in the minor premiership and then to knock off the minor premiers at their home ground in week one of the finals, you deserve to go straight to the preliminary finals.

 Paul Gorski - Dissertation - Review of the Literature (Part III)
Wrenn (1985) and Richardson and Molinaro (1996) suggest that counselors who are not aware of their own cultural value system tend to assume that their values are universal and are thus unable to effectively adapt to a client with a different set of values.
McIntyre (1997) focuses this argument back on education, arguing that white teachers must re-examine "the system of whiteness that is the bedrock of the education system in the United States" (p.
McIntyre (1997) challenges white educators to confront the teaching profession itself, and to take responsibility for systemic discrimination in our schools.

 Law in the Sociological Enterprise: A Reconstruction
As far as the UK is concerned, where there are strong institutional pressures from the funding system to emphasise the separateness of disciplines, this is a very considerable disincentive to specialize in this area of work.
A particular strength of McIntyre's treatment is her movement between abstract theoretical points, which are nevertheless generally made in a simple language, and the kind of exemplification that undergraduate students should identify with and relate to.
The other is that McIntyre does tend to give rather short shrift to liberal theorizing about most of the issues that she deals with.

An advantage to this system is that right throughout the finals system there will be blockbuster matches, unlike the current McIntyre system, the teams in the top 4 are significantly advantaged and guaranteed to be there at the big end of season games.
The McIntyre System for all it flaws pretty much puts the top two sides within one match of the Grand Final but they can be disadvantaged by not playing a true Finals game in week one.
The finals match ups are the same as week one of the AFL system, except that we maximise the amount of finals ganes and we remove some of the failings of the AFL Top 8 system, when we move into the Top 5 format.

 Living in a Political World
The various party list systems are proportional representation systems under this definition but I would argue that STV is not - I think an overall 'proportional' result is more likely under STV than FPTP, but it is not a necessary outcome of the system.
As I said below, the key difference between STV and party list systems is that where they deal with votes for parties as a whole across a region or country, STV deals with votes for individual candidates in a constituency in the same way as FPTP.
It's important to remember that when one looks at the share of the vote in general elections currently, that assumes each vote has been cast for an individual because they are the representative of their party in that constituency.
