Finals format

Most sections follow the four team finals format with first playing fourth, and second playing third. Winners proceed to Grand Finals.

In combined sections (Section 1/Section2) teams will qualify for finals in either section based on their ladder position. This is listed in the finals schedule. Some teams in these sections proceed straight to the Grand Final.

In Saturday sections where there are more than 10 teams, there will be two sets of finals. Teams that finish 5-8 will play in the 'reserve' finals in these sections.

Finals qualifications

The deadline for finals qualification queries and requests has now passed. Requests will only be considered in exceptional circumstances from this point on, and must be lodged through your official Club Delegate.
