A twentieth roster round scheduled for 30 August was abandoned due to inclement weather conditions and was never replayed as all positions on the ladder could not change regardless of results, the TFL executive also expressed the view that with most grounds in quagmire-like condition and being closed by their respective Councils, it would be a prudent move to cancel the round in order to freshen up the playing surface of North Hobart Oval for the following week's finals.
