The 2023 Women's JDH Hockey One was the third season of Hockey Australia's national league, Hockey One. The tournament was held across 7 states and territories of Australia. Competition commenced on 6 October, and culminated with a finals weekend on 25 and 26 November.^[1][2][3]

Competition format[edit]

Format[edit]

The 2023 Hockey One season followed the same format as seasons one and two. Teams will play a series of home and away matches during the Pool Stage, which will be followed by a Classification Round.

During the pool stage, teams played each other once in either a home or a way fixture. The top four ranked teams qualified for the classification round, playing in two semi-finals with the winners contesting the final and losers the third place match. Unlike season one, where Team 1 hosted Team 4 and Team 2 hosted Team 3, the finals were held over a single weekend at a central location.

Rules[edit]

In addition to FIH sanctioned rules, Hockey Australia is implementing the following rules for Hockey One:

• When a field goal or penalty stroke is scored the same athlete will have an automatic one-on-one shootout with the goalkeeper for an extra goal.
• Outright winner: There will be no drawn games. In the event of a draw, teams will contest a penalty shoot-out to determine a winner.

Point allocation[edit]

Match points will be distributed as follows:

• 5 points: win
• 3 points: shoot-out win
• 2 points: shoot-out loss
• 0 points: loss
