Creating your own League gives you much more control over the Competition rules, right down to the scoring system.
Once you create your League, you can let others use it as a template for their own Competition.
If you want to use the standard rules, TheBench™ provides default Leagues that you can register a Competition with here.
If you want more control over the rules for your Competition than are provided in the defaults, you can follow the following steps to create your own customises League.
A private League is great for an organisation or group who want to setup their own Fantasy Footy site for their employees, members, customers, collegues, friends or nemisis etc.
The first step is to select a template to begin with:
League Templates for AFL:
TheBench™ Classic, This template is based on the standard AFL Draft based League used on TheBench™.
Draft based League with a Squad of 18 players to field a team of 9; 3 forwards, 3 midfielders, a tackler, ruckman and an emergency player. Each position scores differently.
By default this League has no restrictions on player placement, allows trading and allows two squad changes throughout the season.
This is the most popular game on TheBench™.
TheBench™ Full Field, This template is a Draft Based League playing a full field of 18 players with 4 on the bench and a Squad of 30.
This template lets you customise more positions on the field. You can delete the positions you don't want.
This League also has restrictions on player placement, that is Jonathan Brown, for example, can only be played as a full forward.
By default, trading and a finals series is enabled and you can make 4 changes to your squad throughout the season.
