Hi All,

Those of us involved in TS keeper leagues have increasingly dealt with idle teams across early an midseason AFL bye rounds.

In response we have decided to trial a 10 aside modified ORFF* format competition over the 7 multibye rounds in 2026

• ORFF* 10's (or Tens) team format is 2D-4M-2F-2IC (no R) - with 1 emergency per line if teams can field over 10 players, as usual OOP in D/M/F = 50% points only
• The squad used is the same as the team's ORFFL/ORFFA/ORFFU/ORFFF squad of 28 or 30 players
• The competition format is a pseudo-Double Elimination Comp held in 4 and 8 team bye rounds
• TSleagues won’t support the comp so all scores will be manually calculated by participating team coaches and posted in a dedicated ORFF* 10’s competition thread
• OR team scores (with perfect hindsight post OR) used for Comp Seeding teams ranked 1-8 receive a double chance/easier path and teams ranked 9-16 must win 6 consecutive elimination matches, teams ranked 17 onwards based on OR scores do not qualify for the comp
• Round 2 onwards match schedule as per diagram and teams to be named by Friday night lockout
• H2H matches rds2-3 eliminates 8 teams
• Rd12 is Minor Premiers GF (match 15) and 3 more Elimination Matches (Matches 16-18) in the right hand bracket
• Minor Premiers rests in Rounds 14&15 and plays the Grand Final in Round 16 against winner of the 4 right hand bracket survivors

Please sign up below by posting your ORFFL/ORFFA/ORFFU/ORFFF team name and the competition they play in.

Please note that coaches with multiple team can only enter once for this competition so please make a choice.

Entries close at 9pm Melbourne time on Thursday 5th March, or whenever we reach 24 entries (noting 16 will qualify for the competition proper).

Cheers
TTH
