Guides and FAQ

Australian football – FAQ

Is it suitable for a small AFL 9s tournament too?

Yes. A social or corporate AFL 9s tournament on a smaller field gets its own schedule, results and ladder – Blyzer sets it up clearly in a few minutes.

How is the ladder calculated?

You set the points for a win, draw and loss yourself (e.g. 4 – 2 – 0 as in the AFL). Ties on points are decided by score, so the ladder follows the rules of your competition.

Can I enter the score as goals and behinds?

You enter the result as total points for each team (e.g. 10.8 = 68 points) and the ladder takes it into account, including the score difference.

How much does it cost?

The basics are free – you can create and run an Australian football tournament or league at no charge.
