The '''1988 Adelaide Bicentennial Carnival''' was the 22nd edition of the Australian National Football Carnival, an [[Australian rules football]] [[Interstate matches in Australian rules football#State of origin|State of Origin]] competition. [[Australian Bicentenary|Australia was celebrating its Bicentenary in 1988]], so the carnival was known as the 'Bicentennial Carnival'. It took place over four days from 2 March until 5 March, and the matches were played at [[Football Park]] and [[Norwood Oval]].


Ten teams were involved, including all the states and territories, making in the most heavily contested competition. They were divided into two sections. [[South Australia]], [[Victoria (Australia)|Victoria]], [[Western Australia]] and [[New South Wales]] were in Section One. Although traditionally the Tasmanians had enjoyed more success in the interstate arena than New South Wales, the latter had 22 VFL players in their squad compared to the island state's 15 which helped them obtain the final Section One spot.
Ten teams were involved, including [[States and territories of Australia|all the states and territories]], making it the most heavily contested competition. They were divided into two sections. [[South Australia]], [[Victoria (Australia)|Victoria]], [[Western Australia]] and [[New South Wales]] were in Section One. Although, traditionally, [[Tasmania]] had enjoyed more success in the interstate arena than [[New South Wales]], the latter had 22 VFL players in its squad compared to the island state's 15, which helped them obtain the final Section One spot.


Section Two was occupied by the [[Australian Capital Territory]], [[Northern Territory]], [[Queensland]], [[Tasmania]] and two non regional teams. The [[Australian Amateur Football Council|Australian Amateurs]] was one of those, a squad comprised of amateur players from across the country's leagues. Finally, the [[Victorian Football League|Victorian Football Association]] representative team made up the group but selection was not restricted to VFA players. If a footballer, now competing elsewhere, had started their career in the VFA, such as Terry Wallace for example, then they were eligible to join the squad. The same rules applied to the other teams, so if a Tasmanian born player had started their career at West Perth then they could be selected for either Tasmania or Western Australia.
Section Two was occupied by the [[Australian Capital Territory]], [[Northern Territory]], [[Queensland]], [[Tasmania]] and two non-regional teams. The [[Australian Amateur Football Council|Australian Amateurs]] was one of those, a squad of amateur players from across the country's leagues. Finally, the [[Victorian Football League|Victorian Association]] representative team made up the remainder of the group, but selection for this team was not restricted to Victorian Football Association players. If a footballer, now competing elsewhere, had started his career in the Victorian Football Association—such as [[Terry Wallace]], for example—then he was eligible to join the squad. The same rules applied to the other teams, so, if a Tasmanian-born player had started his career at [[West Perth Football Club|West Perth]], he could be selected for either Tasmania or Western Australia.


Attendances at the tournament were lower than expected, and overall the tournament ran at a $30,000 loss. The team was originally to have received a $40,000 prize, with incrementally lower prizes for all other states; however, these prizes were abandoned due to the operating loss.<ref>{{cite news|newspaper=The Sun News-Pictorial|publication-place=Melbourne, VIC|page=92|author=Peter Simunovich|date=7 March 1988|title=Poor crowd stops prizes}}</ref>

The 1988 Adelaide Bicentennial Carnival was the 22nd edition of the Australian National Football Carnival, an Australian rules football State of Origin competition. Australia was celebrating its Bicentenary in 1988, so the carnival was known as the 'Bicentennial Carnival'. It took place over four days from 2 March until 5 March, and the matches were played at Football Park and Norwood Oval.

Ten teams were involved, including all the states and territories, making it the most heavily contested competition. They were divided into two sections. South Australia, Victoria, Western Australia and New South Wales were in Section One. Although, traditionally, Tasmania had enjoyed more success in the interstate arena than New South Wales, the latter had 22 VFL players in its squad compared to the island state's 15, which helped them obtain the final Section One spot.

Section Two was occupied by the Australian Capital Territory, Northern Territory, Queensland, Tasmania and two non-regional teams. The Australian Amateurs was one of those, a squad of amateur players from across the country's leagues. Finally, the Victorian Association representative team made up the remainder of the group, but selection for this team was not restricted to Victorian Football Association players. If a footballer, now competing elsewhere, had started his career in the Victorian Football Association—such as Terry Wallace, for example—then he was eligible to join the squad. The same rules applied to the other teams, so, if a Tasmanian-born player had started his career at West Perth, he could be selected for either Tasmania or Western Australia.

Attendances at the tournament were lower than expected, and overall the tournament ran at a $30,000 loss. The team was originally to have received a $40,000 prize, with incrementally lower prizes for all other states; however, these prizes were abandoned due to the operating loss.[1]
