The old team per round record is 1,148 because 287 x 4 = <<1148=1148>>1,148
The team season record is 11,480 because 10 x 1,248 = 11,480
They need 1,040 points in the final round to tie the record because 11,480 - 10,440 = <<11480-10440=1040>>1,040
They need to average 260 points each because 1,040 / 4 = <<1040/4=260>>260
This is 27 points less than the current record average because 287 - 260 = <<27=27>>27
