| 2026 PHAFL AFL PLAYER AUCTION — RULES & FORMAT | |
|---|---|
| Pennant Hills AFL Football Club | 2026 Season | |
| AUCTION FORMAT | |
| Player Groups | Players are grouped into auction lots. Each named group contains one player per grade slot. |
| Grade Slots | Prems (MPD) | Womens Prem (WPD) | Div 1 (MD1) | U19s (MU19D1 + MU19D2) | Div 3/5/Mas/WD3 (MD3 + MD5 + MAS + WD3) |
| Group Pools | Groups are split into A–K and L–Z pools based on player surnames, balanced by player value via snake draft. |
| Overflow Groups | Two Overflow Groups (one A–K, one L–Z) contain all remaining players not assigned to a named group. These offer more BOG chances across the season. |
| Ownership | The winning bidder owns that group for the entire 2026 season. |
| BIDDING RULES | |
| Starting Bid | $250 for all named groups. |
| Bid Increments | $50 per bid up to $400, then $25 per bid above $400. |
| Overflow Pricing | Overflow groups carry a higher starting bid reflecting the additional players included. |
| Auctioneer | The auctioneer's decision is final on all bidding disputes. |
| Pre-Bids | Pre-bids can be submitted before the night to Henry T: 0428 833 279. |
| Pre-Bid Privacy | Pre-bids will be kept silent and not disclosed until after the group has been auctioned on the night. |
| Reserve Outcome | If the room does not meet or exceed the pre-bid amount, the pre-bid wins. The reserve price will not be revealed. |
| Payment Terms | All winning bids must be settled within 14 days of the auction night. |
| HOW THE PRIZE POOL WORKS | |
| Revenue Split | The total raised on auction night is split 50/50 between the club and the prize pool. |
| Prize Pool Use | The prize pool covers all BOG weekly payouts and Best & Fairest end-of-season prizes across the season. |
| Impact | The more the auction raises on the night, the bigger the payouts for everyone. |
| Amount Raised | $10,000 | $15,000 | $20,000 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Club Revenue (50%) | $5,000 | $7,500 | $10,000 |
| Prize Pool (50%) | $5,000 | $7,500 | $10,000 |
| TOTAL | $10,000 | $15,000 | $20,000 |
Example: If the auction raises $15,000, the club receives $7,500 and $7,500 goes into the prize pool, paid out across the season via BOG payouts and B&F prizes.
| BOG (BEST ON GROUND) PAYOUTS | |
| BOG Source | BOG is determined by the players listed at the top of PlayHQ Best Players each round. |
| Who Gets Paid | The owner of the group containing the BOG player receives the payout for that round. |
| Back Payments | For rounds already played before the auction night, back-payments will be made. Keep track of who has been performing well. |
| Lower Grades Split | On Masters off-weeks, the $60 lower grades pool splits 3 ways across Div 3, Div 5 and WD3 (~$20 each). When Masters play, it splits 4 ways (~$15 each). |
| Grade | Approx. Payout (based on $7,500 pool) |

| MYSTERY MULTIPLIER ENVELOPES | |
| When Sold | Two Mystery Multiplier envelopes are auctioned after all player groups have been sold. |

| Reward | The holder receives 2× all BOG payouts for that group for the entire season. |
| Starting Bid | $150 |
| Bid Increments | $25 |

| Transferability | Multiplier envelopes are transferable and may be sold or gifted at any time during the season. |
| BEST & FAIREST END OF SEASON PRIZES | |
| Who Decides | Best & Fairest winners are determined by the club's official vote count at season end. |
| Who Gets Paid | The owner of the group containing the B&F winner in each grade receives the prize payout. |
| Overflow Groups | If the B&F winner's group is an Overflow group, the full prize still applies. |
