The AFL announced a reduced season on Monday to cope with the impact of the coronavirus. It means KFC SuperCoach Draft and the new $1 million tips.com.au competition will go ahead for the AFL’s revamped 17-round season.
But the exciting message is, KFC SuperCoach and tips.com.au are ready to go for Round 1, so you can still sign up to take on your mates and compete for great cash prizes.
The unusual circumstances will force some changes on the game, but it will still be the same SuperCoach Draft game we know and love.
Here is a breakdown of how SuperCoach Draft will play out in 2020.
BYES
The bye rounds are no longer relevant. All leagues and teams will play through every round from their elected round start date. The league commissioner can choose when your league will commence in the league settings.
ROUNDS
We’ve had to remove six rounds off the end of each draft league that exceeds 17 rounds – this also includes finals. Unfortunately, we will end up with uneven head-to-head match-ups for some league sizes.
FINALS
Each league’s finals system settings will still be maintained however the finer points of this setup will be confirmed once the AFL provides an indication on the season commencement date.
PLAYERS
With so much uncertainty surrounding the structure of the AFL season and how proposed top-up players might work, this is something that the SuperCoach team are currently working through. Once this information is made available from the AFL, we will reflect it into the game.
