@meow - really think time would be an issue with the drafting. (Think you've also forgotten the bye rounds in your idea, but that can be adjusted).

Think we will stick to the original idea? Seems to be the general consensus.

So...
- Same groups
- 6 drafts with 3 AFL team each


... BUT. Was thinking about maybe changing the fixture, to include more teams for longer? Hear me out....


Rounds 1-5
You play every team in your group once. The top FOUR progress to the 'Continents' stage.

Rounds 6-9
Top 4 from Australia and Top 4 from Africa = Australia/African Continent
Top 4 from North America and Top 4 from South America = American Continent
Top 4 from North East Europe and Top 4 from South West Europe = Europe Continent
Top 4 from Asia-Pacific and Top 4 from South Asia = Asia Continent

Your results against the other 3 teams in your group carry over, and you play 4 matches against the the top 4 from the other Group.

I.e. Tasmania won all its matches against the other 3 teams in the Group Stages, so start this fixture with 3 wins - and play the 4 teams from the African Continent.

The top SIX from each Continent progress to the next stage - Final 24

Rounds 10-15
Top 6 from Australia/African Continent and Top 6 from American Continent = AAA Group
Top 6 from Europe Continent and Top 6 from Asia continent = EurAsia Group

Like before, your matches against the other 5 teams from your continent carry over. You play the other 6 teams in your new group once.

I.e. Tasmania won 4 and lost 1 from the other 5 teams in the Australia/Africa Continent. So they start this phase with 4 wins already. They then play the other 6 teams from the American Continent

The top FIVE from each group progress to the Final 10.

Rounds 16-20
Top 5 from AAA group + Top 5 from EurAsia Group = Final 10

Like before, your matches against the other 4 teams from your Group carry over. You play the 5 teams from the other Group.

i.e. Tassie won 2 and lost 2 against the other teams in the AAA Group, so start with 2 wins. They play the other 5 teams from EurAsia.

The Top 4 play off in finals - and the first time you will play a team twice.

Preliminary Final
1st v 4th
2nd v 3rd

Grand Final
Winner of Prelim



This way more teams are involved for longer, and you play another team twice in the finals.


So before:
Original Way v New Way
Phase 1: 48 teams v 48 Teams
Phase 2: 24 teams v 32 Teams
Phase 3: 12 teams v 24 Teams
Phase 4: 6 teams v 10 teams
Prelim: 3 teams v 4 teams
GF: 2 teams v 2 teams

[nostradamus]

no, sorry nos. You could pick whoever

cheers Os, glad you cleared that one up.......it was only an example, but l could think of a lot of players who averaged less this season that l'd take before Bartel

[Purple 77]

Me likey Oswald.

[Nige]
