The Wrap up: The season 31 iteration of the Aussie Open went off without any hitches and hopefully the managers involved enjoyed the opportunity to compete against other Aussie teams in a custom cup format. The total spectator count for the tournament was1,043,875 (up 2,450 on last season) with approximate takings of nearly $34 million (up a little bit on last season) . The organisers wish to see you all come back to compete in the Aussie Open again next season.

Congratulations to the best of the Australian Managers for Season 31:

Jake The Muss

 Manager of Wellington Phoenix FC
