The A·F·L Chart Soccer Home Page
Introduction
Welcome to the A·F·L Chart Soccer web site. The A·F·L (Assocation Football League) is a simulated football league based on the RL English leagues, which were originally played using dice from the vintage LOGacta dice game from the 1970s, but is now more often played using electronic methods such as Excel spreadsheets. The aim of this site is mainly for me to have an electronic archive of as much of the data I have collected over the years as possible, most of which currently exists only in paper format. It may also be of interest to others who like to play these sort of games in their spare time.
The A·F·L has been played since 1979, and thus has a great deal of history. Click here for more about the history of A·F·L Chart Soccer.
Current Structure
The current setup of the league is similar to the real-life English Football Pyramid. The top four divisions form the A.F.L. and comprise the Premier League of 20 teams and Championship, League One and League Two with 24 teams each. I play out the Premier League manually using Logacta dice, i.e. 380 matches a season, and use computed results for the other three divisions. Below this are tiers 5, 6 and 7, known in my setup as the A.F.C. (Association Football Conference or just "The Conference"). The top level of this (Conference Premier Division) is played using computed results to provide teams for promotion to the A.F.L. The remaining tiers are not played out at all. Instead, I just use the current real-life make up of these tiers to pick teams at random for entry into the First Round of the Association Cup.
The cup competitions are the Premier Cup, League Cup and Association Cup. The Premier Cup is a pre-season competition for the 20 Premier League teams. The League Cup involves the 92 A.F.L. teams and the Association Cup involves the 92 A.F.L. teams plus 32 qualifiers from the A.F.C.
