Everyone who registers at the AFL website will go into a database where the details of their event will become visible on the map-finder feature. The map-finder enables fans to zoom in on their area of the globe and be given details of all the parties being held in their area.
As per 2011, everyone who registers their event in the AFL website's Party Finder will go into the draw to win a fantastic 2012 AFL Premiers Lithograph, signed by the captain and coach of the winning team and valued at $595.00 AUD.
