Notes:

• 10 rounds, then 2 rounds finals.
  Week 8 to be developed as a lightning premiership/ carnival day. Depending on the progress of the development competition, may also feature new rules, such as smaller grounds, smaller teams to include the tier 2 players.
• Finals – preference for women’s games would be hosted by clubs involved in the comp as a priority. It would be great to check in if Williamstown would be able to host first week of finals, Port Melbourne to host the GF as clubs which have larger facilities and options for potentially Tier 2 development games to run alongside and create a carnival atmosphere for our finals. Traditional format for 2 week finals would be 1v4, 2v3, winners to GF. Could also add 5v6, 7v8 for first week of finals to allow more footy for more players. It would be best for the finals to be about the players experiences, and a chance for the clubs and communities to celebrate the women’s competition.
• Round 9 is a decision point. 3 clubs have asked for this date as a priority date- Mordy, VU Spurs, Port Melbourne
  Clubs involved are in the process of making a decision. All 3 could host a stand alone match. Or one team could swap for another date. So have allocated all 3 dates.
