afl.com.au won an award for best sporting league site style

[STC]

Need I say anymore? According to the 2009 Ultimate Sports Website Awards, afl.com.au has the best style of any league or federation website.

The bar must have been set extraordinarily high

Hilarious.

How far out did they cast the net?

www.mlb.com is awesome.

They certainly didn't http://www.sportbusiness.com/awards/uswa/2009. They won one award for "Award for Best Site Style" for "Federation or League Site". I couldn't be bothered looking up the actual criteria they used for their judging

surely you jest....

They must be taking the piss.

What exactly is so bad about AFL.com.au? Seems alright to me. Then again, I only ever use it to check the final team lists for each round on Friday afternons.

AFL website is so stylish it has taken Firefox until just a year or so ago to be able to actually display the content to users (I would say that an "Style Awesomeness Overload Error" was the root of the problem there, but Firefox have got with the times now). Some say the bare white screen was easier on the eyes however.


The AFL website has to be one of the fugliest sites going around. Maybe there is another AFL sporting league out there that we don't know about? (Anybody who was thinking Arena Football League need not, on first glance their website is about on par with the AFL site).

 

[Zarrix]

Its certainly a lot better than last years incarnation . Firefox would struggle back then. But Telstra's brand of all Flash, no substance is still ever present.

Is the AFL site not working for anyone else as the moment?

Didn't you hear, they won an award. They are out celebrating, site is closed for the day.

 

[grizzlym]

You guys are so sarcastic.

As a matter of fact the AFL site has been getting a freakin' truckload of visitations.

In fact, they've recently upgraded all of their hardware to cope with the demand. Including a custom-built colling system.

Here's a pic of their state-of-the-art equipment.

Apparently the Demetriou 'located' the server during hard rubbish week.

as much as I love to rip on the afl website, I do love that I can watch full match replays.

Now if only I could watch full match replays in something other than IE...
