The replacement players are signed to a train-on list and are considered semi-eligible for section. Though they are eligible to train with the club, they cannot be selected for match play until further injuries to player on the club's list mean a club has fewer than 23 players available for any single match.


2019 AFL Women's season
The 2019 AFL Women's season was the third season of the elite women's Australian rules football competition. Ten teams competed in the league, two more than the previous season, all of which are associated with existing Australian Football League (AFL) clubs. To accommodate the extra teams a conference system was implemented.


2019 AFL Women's season
The first game was played on the 2nd of February and the season concluded with the 2019 AFL Women's Grand Final between Adelaide and Carlton on the 31st of March. Adelaide won by a margin of 45 to win their second premiership.


2019 AFL Women's season, Reforms, New teams
Two new teams, Geelong and North Melbourne, joined the competition, bringing the total number of teams to ten. The North Melbourne team has a strong Tasmanian focus; some players are based in Tasmania and some home games were held in the state. The introduction of the new teams is the first stage of a two-year expansion that will take the league to fourteen teams for the 2020 season.


2019 AFL Women's season, Reforms, Conferences
Despite the introduction of new teams, the league retained a seven-round home-and-away season. This was achieved by splitting the competition into two conferences. Each team play four games against their fellow conference members and three "cross-over" matches against teams from the other conference. Conference membership was based on the final ladder positions of the 2018 season.


2019 AFL Women's season, Reforms, Conferences
The finals series was expanded to include preliminary finals for the first time; the two teams who finish the highest in each conference at the end of the home-and-away season qualified for the preliminary finals. The winners of these games played in the AFL Women's Grand Final. The make-up of the conferences, along with the fixture, was released in October 2018.

The conference system proved controversial as the teams in Conference A consistently outplayed the teams on Conference B, resulting in the first, second, fifth and sixth best overall teams making the finals.


2019 AFL Women's season, Reforms, Rule changes
There were 11 rule changes brought in for the 2019 AFLW season (three AFLW specific).

The system used for the 2019 AFL finals series is a final eight system. The top four teams in the eight receive the "double chance" when they play in week-one qualifying finals, such that if a top-four team loses in the first week it still remains in the finals, playing a semi-final the next week against the winner of an elimination final. The bottom four of the eight play knock-out games – only the winners survive and move on to the next week. Home-state advantage goes to the team with the higher ladder position in the first two weeks, to the qualifying final winners in the third week.

2019 AMA Supercross Championship, Season Report
Heavy rain before the fifth race at San Diego led to a track that was “a miserable mess of standing water and deep mud for the racers, and just completing a lap without falling or getting stuck was an accomplishment in itself”. Eli Tomac won the 450cc Main Event while Adam Cianciarulo won the 250cc Main Event. Some riders suffered skin irritation and some bikes were damaged following the race.

2019 AMA Supercross Championship, Season Report
Riders are not allowed to jump through red cross flags and, as stated under section 4.16 of the rulebook “during a main event race, if no positions were gained, the penalty will be the points and purse equal to two positions in the final results for that race plus two additional points”. This cost Musquin seven points, but he kept the victory. Dylan Ferrandis took his first career 250cc Main Event win.


2019 AMA Supercross Championship, Season Report

Following his penalty the previous round in Seattle, this result further hurt Musquin’s championship chances. Dylan Ferrandis, fresh off of his first career win in Seattle, followed it up with another win in the 250cc Western Regional class Main Event.


2019 AMA Supercross Championship, Season Report
Eli Tomac was the winner of Round 14 of the 450cc season in Nashville, while Martin Davalos won the 250cc Eastern Regional class Main Event, his first win in three years. Davalos’ win came after Austin Forkner - who had been undefeated in 2019 up to that point - crashed in practice and was unable to put weight on his knee. Colorado native Tomac went on to win the next event at his home race in Denver, much to the approval of the crowd, and narrowing the points gap to the championship leader Cooper Webb. The championship battle in the 250cc Western Regional class opened back up a bit though, with Adam Cianciarulo returning to the top step of the podium and extending his points lead over Dylan Ferrandis.


2019 AMA Supercross Championship, Season Report
Mistakes led to the lead changing hands many times during the 450cc Main Event in East Rutherford, New Jersey. When the checkered flag finally flew, it was Cooper Webb taking the win, extending his points lead to 23 points with just one race left to go. Forkner came into the race still suffering with a torn ACL from his Nashville crash, but he was able to compete in the 250cc Eastern Regional Main Event. However, he didn’t make it to the finish after jumping and landing into the face of a jump, causing further distress to his knee. This allowed Chase Sexton to go on to take his first 250cc Eastern Regional career win and take the points lead.


2019 AMA Supercross Championship, Season Report

The league was contested by six teams from around New Zealand, with a total of 47 matches played between February and June. Southern Steel were the defending premiers, though were knocked out of contention in the elimination final. The premiership was won by Central Pulse, who defeated the Northern Stars by four goals in the Grand Final.


2019 ANZ Premiership season
The season was brought forward by two months to ensure it did not clash with the Netball World Cup, played in Liverpool in July 2019.


2019 ANZ Premiership season, Format
The 2019 ANZ Premiership season followed the same format as the previous season.


2019 ANZ Premiership season, Format
Teams played 15 matches spread over 13 rounds for a 47 match season, ensuring each team played each other three times in the regular season.

2019 AQ3
2019 AQ3 is an inclined near-Earth object of the small Atira group from the innermost region of the Solar System, estimated to measure 1.4 kilometers (0.9 miles) in diameter. Among the hundreds of thousands known asteroids, 2019 AQ3's orbit was thought to have likely the smallest semi-major axis (0.589 AU) and aphelion (0.77 AU), that is, the orbit's average distance and farthest point from the Sun, respectively. The object was first observed on 4 January 2019, by astronomers at Palomar's Zwicky Transient Facility in California, with recovered images dating back to 2015.


2019 AQ3
The record for smallest semi-major axis was beaten by another asteroid, 2019 LF6, with 0.555 AU.


2019 AQ3, Orbit and classification
2019 AQ3 orbits the Sun at a distance of 0.40–0.77 AU once every 5 months (165 days; semi-major axis of 0.589 AU). Its orbit has an eccentricity of 0.31 and an inclination of 47° with respect to the ecliptic. The body's observation arc begins with a precovery taken by Pan-STARRS at Haleakala Observatory in October 2015, more than 3 years prior to its official first observation at the Zwicky Transient Facility on 4 January 2019. It has a minimum orbit intersection distance with Earth of 0.22 AU or 88 lunar distances.


2019 AQ3, Orbit and classification, Aphelion
2019 AQ3's orbit has the third-smallest aphelion of any known asteroid in the Solar System, never distancing itself more than 0.774 AU from the Sun (77% of Earth's average orbital distance). Before its discovery, the record was held by (418265) 2008 EA32 at an aphelion of 0.804 AU, which is notably larger. 2019 AQ3's orbit also has a semi-major axis below that of Venus (0.723 AU) and an orbital period of 165 days, which is the third shortest among all asteroids.


2019 AQ3, Orbit and classification, Atira class
2019 AQ3 is a member of the small class of Atira asteroids, which are also known as Apoheles or interior-Earth objects, as their orbits are confined inside that of Earth's. This makes their discovery difficult, as they stay relatively close to the Sun when observed from Earth, never reaching a Solar elongation of more than 90°, often much less. Only 19 such asteroids are known, 14 of which still reach 90% Earth's distance from the Sun over the course of their orbit.


2019 AQ3, Orbit and classification, Inclination
The asteroid's orbit is also highly inclined with respect to the plane of the Solar System, at more than 47°, the highest inclination of any known Atira asteroid, although there are many near-Earth asteroids with even higher inclinations.


2019 AQ3, Orbit and classification, Perturbations
On the short-term, 2019 AQ3 has a fairly quickly-changing orbit. Between 1600 AD and 2500 AD its aphelion distance lowers slightly from 0.7746 to 0.7725 AU, its perihelion distance increases slightly from 0.4025 to 0.4046 AU, and its inclination increases slightly from 47.19 to 47.25°.


2019 AQ3, Orbit and classification, Perturbations
It is not subjected to a Kozai resonance because although its eccentricity and inclination oscillate in synchrony (when the eccentricity reaches its maximum value, the inclination is at its lowest and vice versa) over a long period of time, the value of the argument of perihelion circulates; the Earth-Moon system and Jupiter are its dominant perturbers.


2019 AQ3, Numbering and naming
As of 2019, this minor planet has neither been numbered nor named by the Minor Planet Center.


2019 AQ3, Physical characteristics
The object's diameter is estimated at 1.4 kilometers (0.87 miles), which corresponds to an assumed geometric albedo of 0.08 for an absolute magnitude of 17.6. The Minor Planet Center also considers 2019 AQ3 to be larger than 1 kilometer. However, these are estimates with apparently no published measurement confirming the body's diameter.


2019 AQ3, Physical characteristics
Based on a generic magnitude-to-diameter conversion, the asteroid could measure anywhere between 500 meters and 2 kilometers for an extreme albedo of 0.45 (brighter than the E-types of the Hungaria population) and 0.04 (very dark carbonaceous D- and P-types of some members in the Hildian and Jupiter trojan population), respectively. As of 2019, less than 900 large (kilometer-sized) near-Earth asteroids have been discovered.


2019 ARCA Menards Series
The 2019 ARCA Menards Series was the 67th season of the ARCA Menards Series. Christian Eckes of Venturini Motorsports won the championship over teammate Michael Self. Eckes became the first champion since Tim Steele in 1997 to win the title after missing a race during the season.


2019 ARCA Menards Series
On February 9, 2019, hours before the season-opening Lucas Oil 200, ARCA announced that the series would be renamed to the ARCA Menards Series for at least 2019 and 2020. Menards had previously been a presenting sponsor for ARCA.


2019 ARCA Menards Series, Schedule
The full schedule was released on November 21st, 2018. The schedule remains largely unchanged from 2018. Although some tracks swapped dates throughout the season, the only track from 2018 to be excluded in 2019 was Berlin Raceway. In turn, the only track to be added to the schedule was Five Flags Speedway. For the first time in series history, every race was aired live. 12 races were broadcast on MAVTV, while 6 were covered by FS1 and the last 2 was covered by FS2.

2019 AS5
2019 AS5 is a near-Earth asteroid that passed close by the Earth on 8 January 2019. It passed within 0.04 lunar distances or 15,000 kilometers of the center of the Earth, 8600 km from the surface. It was discovered by the Mt. Lemmon Survey 9 hours after closest approach. It is estimated to be about 1–2 metres (3–7 feet) in diameter.


2019 AS5
As of July 2019, it is the closest approach of a non-impacting asteroid in 2019. 2019 MO impacted Earth on 22 June 2019.

2019 AT&T strike
The 2019 AT&T strike was a labor strike involving about 20,000 employees of AT&T in the Southern United States. Members of the Communications Workers of America (CWA) went on strike from August 24 to August 28, following the failure to agree to new employment contracts. Following several days of protest across nine states, the strike ended with a tentative deal reached between CWA and AT&T.


2019 AT&T strike, Background
On August 3, 2019, employment contracts between 20,000 members of the Communications Workers of America (CWA) and AT&T Southeast were set to expire. These workers primarily consisted of customer service representatives and technicians from AT&T's wired phone and Internet division. Leading up to this, discussions between the two parties regarding future contract agreements were proving to be unfruitful, and leading up to the expirations the CWA began to prepare for the possibility of a labor strike. The previous month, members of the CWA voted to authorize a strike if an agreement regarding contracts could not be made.


2019 AT&T strike, Background
On August 3, hundreds of telecommunications workers held a rally outside AT&T Midtown Center (AT&T Southeast's headquarters) in Atlanta. On August 10, the workers began to work without a contract. A meeting on August 20 between AT&T and union officials again proved fruitless, with the union alleging that proposals by the company would have reduced paid sick time, among other unwanted effects.


2019 AT&T strike, Course of the strike
On August 23, the CWA announced a strike that would begin at midnight. They also filed a charge with the National Labor Relations Board alleging that AT&T was not bargaining "in good faith" and that they had failed to send proper representatives to contract discussions. A day prior on August 21, CWA locals 3120, 3121 and 3122 went on a Unfair labor practice protest in South Florida and  walked out over issues associated with violations of the National Labor Relations Act]]. However, these actions were unrelated to and did not prompt the mass strike the following day. In total, the strike involved workers in Alabama, Florida, Georgia, Kentucky, Louisiana, Mississippi, North Carolina, South Carolina, and Tennessee.


2019 AT&T strike, Course of the strike
On August 25, Senator and 2020 Democratic Party Presidential candidate Bernie Sanders met with strikers in Louisville, Kentucky ahead of one of his campaign rallies. On August 28, following an agreement between CWA and AT&T, CWA announced the strike had ended and workers could return to their jobs that day. As part of the agreement, the two parties agreed to a 5-year contract that included increases in wages and enhancements for workers' 401(k) and pensions. In general, the agreement was considered to be favorable to the labor union.
