The 2003 Women's Australian Hockey League was the 11th edition women's field hockey tournament. The tournament was held in various cities across Australia, and was contested from 7 March through to 13 April 2003.[1]
VIS Vipers won the tournament for the first time after defeating QLD Scorchers 4–3 in penalties, after the final finished as a 3–3 draw. Canberra Strikers finished in third place after defeating WA Diamonds 4–3 in the third and fourth place playoff.[2][3]
Participating teams
The 2003 Women's Australian Hockey League consisted of a single round robin format, followed by classification matches.
Teams from all 8 states and territories competed against one another throughout the pool stage. At the conclusion of the pool stage, the top four ranked teams progressed to the semi-finals, while the bottom four teams continued to the classification stage.
The first four rounds of the pool stage comprised two-legged fixtures between states. As a result, matches in rounds five to seven of the pool stage were worth double points, due to the single-leg format.
Point allocation
Every match in the 2003 AHL needed an outright result. In the event of a draw, golden goal extra time was played out, and if the result was still a draw a penalty shoot-out was contested, with the winner receiving a bonus point.
