NSW Touch Football is pleased to release the 2024/25 representative season Affiliate rankings.
The rankings process is a detailed account of the performance of each Affiliate across NSWTA
events for the 2023/24 season. These include Vawdon Cup, Country Championships and State
Cup.

The final rankings are determined by the two strongest results of the three major events that
NSWTA conduct. Given that several Premier League teams chose to play one event an
adjustment was made to provide parity and allow for two results. The explanation is below.

Affiliate teams in each event are allocated a points value based on their finishing result. In
calculating the best two results each event is also weighted according to strength, prestige, and
team numbers. State Cup, as the State Championship is the highest valued and weighted event.
Rankings are used to determine the allowable Player Points for an Affiliate.

The Rankings are also used, in conjunction with a team’s current performances when determining either divisions or seedings for an event.

For transparency, please see the method that is used when determining the Affiliate rankings.
NB. Where a Premier League or State Cup Championship team only participated in State Cup, the
following was applied for parity.

• A Sydney Based team that finished in the top four at State Cup received 1st place
  equivalent points for Vawdon Cup.
• A Sydney Based team that finished in 5th to 8th at State Cup received 3rd place equivalent
  points for Vawdon Cup.
• A Sydney Based team that finished outside the top eight of State Cup received 4th place
  equivalent points for Vawdon Cup.
• A Country Based team that finished in the top four at State Cup received 1st place equivalent points for Country Championships.
• A Country Based team that finished in 5th to 8th at State Cup received 3rd place equivalent
  points for Country Championships.
• A Country Based team that finished outside the top eight of State Cup received 4th place
  equivalent points for Country Championships.
