As a reminder to media, the AFL wishes to advise the process for playing of additional time if scores are even\u00a0following a match\u00a0in the\u00a02025\u00a0Toyota AFL Finals Series.<\/p>\n
The following procedure shall apply in the event of a draw at the end of ordinary time:\u00a0<\/p>\n
Six-minute\u00a0and 30 second\u00a0break.\u00a0
\nAdditional Time period of two x three-minute\u00a0halves (plus time on) will be played as required, until a result is determined.<\/p>\n
PROCESS:<\/p>\n
Goal umpires confirm scores are identical;
\nThere is a six-minute and 30 second break;
\nTeams change ends;
\nThree minutes of Additional Time shall be played, plus time-on;
\nAt the end of the first Additional Time period, the siren will sound and teams will immediately change ends without a break;
\nThe ball will be bounced (or thrown up) in the centre and a further three minutes of play (plus time-on) will commence;
\nAt the conclusion of this period, the siren will sound and the team with the highest score is declared the winner;
\nIf scores are still tied, steps three to eight are repeated until a result is determined.<\/p>\n
The following shall also apply for Additional Time periods:<\/p>\n
Interchange cap
Clubs shall receive 10 interchanges for the total two x three-minute period Additional Time (excluding the activation of the Substitute). Any leftover interchanges from the total period of Additional Time do not carry over into a subsequent period.<\/p>\n
Please note that the 10 interchanges include any interchanges when the players immediately change ends at the end of the first Additional Time period.<\/p>\n
Runners
Runners may access the playing arena after a goal or a significant stoppage in play (eg. a stretcher is called). Runners are also permitted to access the playing arena at the conclusion of each three-minute (plus time-on) period of Additional Time as players are changing ends.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The process for playing additional time if scores are even\u00a0following a finals match has been confirmed A general…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":112047,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[560],"tags":[638,64,63,55,639,85,83],"class_list":["post-112046","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-afl","tag-afl","tag-au","tag-australia","tag-australian-football-league","tag-australianfootballleague","tag-sports","tag-text"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/112046","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=112046"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/112046\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/112047"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=112046"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=112046"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=112046"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
