PAFL Rules

The PAFL (Philippine Australian Football League) has developed a modified version of the "real" game to provide an opportunity for all Australian Rules Football enthusiasts to enjoy participating in a game that has strong parallels with the traditional game. PAFL's version of the game has a strong emphasis on fun and safety.

This modified version of the game can be played with as little as two teams of nine on the field, with an unlimited number of interchange players. Players can be interchanged at any time and as often as required. The field has a maximum length of 120 metres and 80 metres wide.

The field is divided into three zones - a mid zone and two scoring zones. Teams score by kicking the football to designated forwards in their attacking scoring zone (35 metre arc). A goal can be scored from anywhere within the 35 metre arc where a player has the opportunity to score. Played in a friendly social environment, PAFL's modified rules enable people of all ages, nationalities, fitness and ability levels to participate. The PAFL rules in full can be found by clicking here
