AFL

Eighteen a side over four quarters. The score carries goals and behinds separately as well as a total, which a generic scoreline cannot represent.

The model

What Australian Football needs that a generic model does not give it.

Every sport gets its own entities and its own scoring shape. We do not force one structure onto all of them.

Product experience

What we build for Australian Football.

The page types and computed values this sport implies. Descriptions are of the intended product for this sport.

  • Match pages carrying goals, behinds and total together
  • Ladder rather than a football-style table, with percentage
  • Team form across the season
  • Player pages with disposals and goals

— Match, player and table figures shown on this page are sample data. See coverage for the competition index.

Illustration

The shared match component.

The same component renders each sport in its own scoring shape. Shown here with football, basketball and volleyball, because those are the shapes we can illustrate today.
