AFLX Explained
AFLX as a fast-paced, high-octane version of the game and is being compared by many to Twenty20 Cricket.
Some modifications have been made for the tournament:
- The match is played on a soccer/rugby-sized rectangular field.
- Teams of seven (plus seven on the bench with unlimited rotations).
- Fast, free-flowing footy.
- One umpire, no centre bounces, kick-ins from behind the goal line after all scores.
- Last touch out-of-bounds free kick.
- Two 10-minute halves with a two-minute break at half-time.
- 10 points for goals outside 40m.
- At least two players from each team must start each half inside each 40m area.
- No marks paid on backwards kicks.
