Player Points System Update

By VAFA Media · September 3, 2020
Player Points System Update

Football Operations Team

The VAFA adopted the AFL Victoria Player Points System (PPS) in 2016. The objectives of the state PPS Policy are as follows, to:

  1. support equalization of community football Competitions;
  2. ensure teams fielded in the Competitions are strong and as equally matched as possible;
  3. provide the best opportunities for players to develop and display their skills;
  4. provide opportunities to compete at a community level within an orderly and fair system;
  5. enable team spirit and public support;
  6. encourage community and corporate sponsorships of Community Clubs;
  7. reduce the inflationary nature of player payments to assist clubs survive financially and reduce financial burden/stress on Clubs;
  8. promote player loyalty and junior development;

VAFA Football Operations have assessed our competition data for competitive balances, average team player points and highest team player points over a four-year period to develop a strategy which fits within the parameters of the PPS framework to equalize our senior men’s competitions.

The proposed model sets a default points budget for each competition and applies certain deductions for each team over a five-year period to create a scaled structure. It is important to recognise the VAFA is unique and have specific criteria for University and School alignments which have been considered in producing the new concept.

The framework will be presented to our Premier Sections & Divisional Sections Advisory Groups once established, for feedback and input prior to a recommendation to the VAFA Board. If ratified, the structure will be implemented in 2021.

In other matters, the VAFA women’s football advisory group has distributed a women’s football player survey to all registered female players from the 2019 season.

The purpose of the survey is to gather perspectives and views from players about what is currently working with VAFA women’s football and what could be improved.

The survey was emailed out to all players individually on Thursday 27th August and it will close at 5pm, Wednesday 9th September.

Don’t miss out on your opportunity to help shape the future direction of women’s football in the VAFA!!
