A Live Final Qualifier Contest is any nominated Draftstars contest where the winning prize is entry into the Live Final. The winner of the contest is the user with the most Draftstars points at the end of the contest.

Except as otherwise stated or modified in these Live Final Specific Rules, the Live Final Qualifier Contests and Live Final will be administered and scored according to the standard Draftstars contest rules (for that sport) and be governed by the Draftstars Terms and Conditions and Privacy Policy. In the event of any inconsistency between the rules, these Live Final Specific Rules will apply to the Live Final Qualifier Contests and Live Final.

To qualify for the ‘AFL $500K Live Final’ to win a share of Australia’s biggest ever fantasy sports prize pool of $500,000, you will need to win (i.e. come standalone 1st place) in a qualifying Live Final Qualifier Contest or tiebreaker and receive a Golden Ticket. There are 210 Golden Tickets to be won from Live Final Qualifier Contests.

Only one Golden Ticket per Live Final Qualifying Contest will be available. In the event of a draw for first place, all players who came in first will be entered into a tiebreaker contest.

Tiebreaker contests will include all users that tied for first place in the same Live Final Qualifying Contest. The tiebreaker contest will be for a slate specified by Draftstars in its sole discretion.

Eligible users will be automatically entered into the tiebreaker contest with an auto-filled lineup and be notified via email and SMS. The eligible users will need to log into their account to update their team lineup before the start of the tiebreaker contest.

If the eligible user had multiple entries in the Live Final Qualifying Contest which qualified for the tiebreaker contest, they will receive an entry for each of these in the tiebreaker.

Tiebreakers will continue to be run until there is a single winner remaining. In the event that there are no Draftstars contests prior to the Live Final to hold a tiebreaker, it will be at Draftstars discretion for how Golden Tickets will be allocated between those who tied for first place in the relevant Live Final Qualifier Contest.

It is the responsibility of all entrants to ensure that their contact details are up to date and correct. In the event an entrant who qualifies for a tiebreaker contest cannot be contacted or does not respond to Draftstars notifications, they will be entered into the tiebreaker with the auto-filled lineup.

Live Final Qualifying Contests may be single or multiple entry. See individual Live Final Qualifying Contest rules for the maximum number of entries allowed.

Maximum of 2 Golden Tickets/entries can be won per user to the AFL $500k Live Final. In the event that a user wins more than 2 Live Final Qualifier Contents, their Golden Ticket will be awarded to the second place user (subject to any applicable tiebreaker). All pending entries which the user has will be cancelled and/or refunded.

You will still be entitled to enter the final contest and play in the $500,000 contest.
