3.6. AFLW Fantasy teams are not transferable. Entrants must not transfer or sell any team or purport to or offer to transfer or sell any team.
4. SCORING OF POINTS
Team selection and salary cap
4.1. Each participant chooses a team of 21 players within the salary cap restrictions described on the Website.
4.2. Teams must be selected according to the following positional requirements:
Player positions on the Website are determined by the Company and will not change throughout the season. There is no guarantee the player positions on the Website reflect that of the real life performances of each player.
4.3. Each round, the 16 players selected on the field will contribute to a participant's AFLW Fantasy Score is based on the player's AFLW Fantasy Score in that round as per the official https://www.womens.afl/ website.
4.4. In addition to the 16 starting players, four of the five players on the interchange (one defender, one midfielder, one ruck and one forward) will have a score that does not count unless they replace a starting player (i.e. a member of the 16 listed on field) in the same position who did not play that round. The fifth interchange player is a utility, meaning they can be selected from any position. The utility’s score will not count unless a starting player does not play AND the interchange player listed in the relevant starting players’ position (DEF, MID, RUC or FWD) also does not play. The utility can fill in any position should the starting player and corresponding interchange player not play, regardless of what position the utility and the starting player are classified as. For example, if a player in your forward line does not play in a particular round, and the forward interchange player also does not play in that round, then the utility’s score will count as a forward, even if she is classified in a position other than forward. Note: the utility can only fill in for a starting player once in a round, so if a team has multiple starting players and their corresponding interchange player does not play, the utility score will only fill in for one starting player.
AFLW Fantasy Format, Captains and Rounds
4.5. Points are only scored by players selected for each game/round (in accordance with the “AFLW Fantasy / Dream Team Scoring System” below). After selecting their starting 16 players, participants must choose a team Captain who will score double points for the round. Participants may also choose a Vice-Captain, who will score double points for the round if the selected captain does not, for any reason, play that round.
Trading
4.6. Participants can replace up to 3 members of their squad each week via the Trade page of the Website. Participants can make up to 30 trades per season (3 per week for the 10 Rounds). However, trades cannot be accumulated as there is a maximum of 3 per Round, meaning if a participant uses less than 3 Trades on any given Round, they lose any unused trades. Trades must be made prior to the commencement of each AFLW Round (as notified on the Website via the Lockout countdown) and will be subject to the participant's AFLW Fantasy Salary cap.
Players traded during the season do not get their aggregate points added or subtracted to the participant's total when the player is not in the participant’s team.
4.7. Player values can be found on the Team, Trade and Player Stats pages of the Website. The values and price changes are fictitious and are determined by the Company based of a number of factors, including draft history, historical performances, games played and total number of points scored for the round. All players who play over any given round will be subject to price changes, determined by the Company. If a player does not play in a round for any reason, their price will not change.
AFLW Fantasy Scoring System
4.8. Individual player scores are awarded as per the following table, based off their real life statistics for the round:
| Statistic | Points |
|---|---|
| Kick | 3 |
| Handball | 2 |
| Mark | 3 |
| Tackle | 4 |
| Hitout | 1 |
| Free kick for | 1 |
| Free kick against | -3 |
| Goal | 6 |
| Behind | 1 |
A participant’s overall team score is equal to the total of the 16 players in a participant's AFLW Fantasy starting line-up, including double score for the participant’s selected captain (or vice captain should their captain not play) plus any eligible interchange player who replaces a non-playing player in the starting line-up).
The determination of the individual Fantasy scores will be as per the player's AFLW Fantasy Score in that round as displayed on the official https://www.womens.afl/. If for some reason player statistics are updated on the https://www.womens.afl/ website after the lockout has been lifted, these changes will not be amended in AFLW Fantasy, all player scores are final as of lockout.
