Points are scored by kicking the oval-shaped ball between goal posts or between behind posts.

Hobart City in Tasmania, Australia

Hobart is the capital and most populous city of the Australian island state of Tasmania. With a population of approximately 225,000, it is the least populated Australian state capital city, and second smallest if territories are taken into account. Founded in 1804 as a British penal colony, Hobart, formerly known as Hobart Town or Hobarton, is Australia's second oldest capital city after Sydney, New South Wales. Prior to British settlement, the Hobart area had been occupied for possibly as long as 35,000 years, by the semi-nomadic Mouheneener tribe, a sub-group of the Nuennone, or South-East tribe. The descendants of these Aboriginal Tasmanians often refer to themselves as 'Palawa'.

A twentieth roster round scheduled for 30 August was abandoned due to inclement weather conditions and was never replayed as all positions on the ladder could not change regardless of results, the TFL executive also expressed the view that with most grounds in quagmire-like condition and being closed by their respective Councils, it would be a prudent move to cancel the round in order to freshen up the playing surface of North Hobart Oval for the following week's finals.
