The Wrap up: The season 35 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 was1,035,300 (down 8,000 on the last Aussie Open in Season 31) with approximate takings of nearly $33.5 million . 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 35:
