Play-offs

The 2009 Super League play-offs took place in September and October 2009. They decided which two teams contested the Grand Final.

Format

Super League has used a play-off system since Super League III in 1998. When introduced, 5 teams qualified for the play-offs, which was subsequently expanded to 6 teams in 2002. For the first time, eight teams will compete in the play-offs in 2009.[10]

Following the final round of matches, all eight play-off teams will be decided. The 2009 play-offs see the introduction of a system where the winning team from week one with the highest League placing will be allowed to select their opponents for week three.[10] Except this choosing opportunity, the new format follows the play-off system of the Australian Football League.
