Qualifying groups
MAIN QUALIFYING
The top 60 from main qualifying (Gameweek 30) will qualify for 30 x head to head matches in Gameweek 31. The 30 winners of these head to heads will qualify for the last 32 (Gameweek 32)
LAST CHANCE WILDCARD QUALIFYING
Those that don’t finish in the top 60 of main qualifying (Gameweek 30) will all compete against each other in Gameweek 31, with the highest scorer only qualifying for the last 32 (Gameweek 32) as the “Last Chance Wildcard”
100 CLUB WILDCARD
Those with over 100 pages in their last 30 days history when they applied to enter the competition, or at any point after they applied and before the 31st March deadline will be able to nominate one person each to compete to be the “100 Club Wildcard”
The nominees must have less than 15 pages in their last 30 day history, and must agree to be in the tournament as your nominee (evidenced by them posting their ID in this article, saying who their nominator is, and confirmed by you replying confirming they are legit as your nominee).
However you pick who your nominee will be is entirely up to you. Nominations must be confirmed by the 31st March deadline – this deadline will be strict!
The nominees will compete in qualifying in 100 Club Wildcard qualifying in Gameweek 30 (which will be separate to main qualifying), with the top two in 100 Club Wildcard qualifying going through to face each other in a head to head in Gameweek 31, the winner of which will qualify for the last 32 (Gameweek 32) as the 100 Club Wildcard.
Should the 100 Club Wildcard end up winning the whole competition, not only will they get a prize, but the 100 Club member who nominated them will get a prize also!
GENERAL RULES
All head to head rounds will be drawn in advance in an open draw (like the FA Cup).
Hits will be deducted as normal in all head to head matches and qualifying rounds.
Bench Boost and Triple Captain chips will not count towards scores in this competition – should a BB/TC chip be played, the scored will be manually adjusted to reflect the scores they would have got had the chip not been played.
In the event of a drawn head to head match, or any tie in qualifying, FPL overall rank will be the deciding factor.
