Yes, yours was from May, as I said I'm sure it was clarified later on. Hers was from November and was written after the point was clarified.Maybe Quayle should of read the "Dummy's guide to new AFL bidding system" instead of the "idiot" version.
Because the Doc I linked is from the AFL not a jurnos article and it's pretty clear in it's description again see below:
"If a Nominating Club does not have enough points to secure a F/S or Academy selection in a given Draft, the points required will carry over to the Club’s first selection the following year."
That is pretty black & white if you ask me.
