right The Australian Football League pre-season competition, which is known at present as the NAB Challenge, is a competition held before the beginning of the Australian Football League (AFL) premiership season. It is currently a three-round competition involving all 18 AFL clubs. ==Current format== The 2014 NAB Challenge features 18 games played over 18 days; each team plays two games, and there is no Grand Final or overall winner. Most games, including the final, are night matches. Normal games are typically played slightly short of full-length (quarters lasting 17½ or 18 minutes plus time-on instead of the normal 20), and with an extended interchange bench of six or eight players to offer less physically demanding conditions for the pre-season games. Lightning matches are played over two halves of 20 minutes plus time-on. When the competition was played as a knock-out tournament, known as the 'NAB Cup', teams which had been eliminated from the pre-season competition played practice matches against each other. These practice matches were known as the 'NAB Challenge', and were often played outside the major capital cities. Particularly in the 21st century, the pre-season competition has been used to trial rule changes before they are introduced into the premiership season. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Australian Football League pre-season competition」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
