How It Works

The only direct athlete path is to win a qualifier.

Winning puts you into the Season 10 Draft pool. It does not guarantee selection, because each team still controls the final roster choices.

1

Enter a qualifier

Choose an official Season 10 qualifier and register through Smoothcomp before the bracket closes.

2

Win the event

The direct athlete path into PGF Season 10 is to win your qualifier division or event.

3

Earn a draft spot

Qualifier winners receive an automatic spot in the Season 10 Draft pool. Draft eligibility does not guarantee a team selection.

4

Get selected

Each of the 8 teams preselects 5 athletes, then drafts 5 more from the qualifier pool to complete a 10-man roster.

Roster Math

Each of the 8 teams preselects 5 roster spots, one athlete at each weight class. Then every team drafts 5 more athletes from the qualified pool to complete a 10-man roster.
