In our pursuit to boost the competitiveness of the league, VDL has implemented a division cap of 10 teams for VDL1, W1 & M1 from the 2024 season onwards. This adjustment will enable us to condense the number of experienced teams and further build competitive depth.

Australian Representative (AR): This term refers to a player who has been officially selected for the Australian National Dodgeball squad or has represented Australia at the World Dodgeball Federation Championships (WDBF) at the past two World Championships. Furthermore, "No AR" specifies that no Australian Representatives of the respective ball format are permitted to participate in a particular division.

Australian Representative Cap (ARC): To promote the sport's growth and maintain competitive balance, VDL has imposed an Australian Representative Cap. This cap limits the number of Australian Representatives who can participate in specific divisions. For instance, "ARC1" signifies a limit of one Australian Representative on court at any given time. The ARC applies to the representatives for the respective ball formats.
