Notes from the organizer: With 22 signer-uppers, we have triggered a Qualifying.

Based on their Pro Rank, 12 people have automatically qualified to the tournament proper:

1 Tom Cappleman 2nd
2 M S R 21st
3 Florence C-L 28th
4 Ben Bazzard 31st
5 Tom Finn 34th
6 Ravi Choudhary 45th
7 Dave Kempshall 49th
8 Matt Gould 50th
9 Brett Davids 51st
10 Andres S. 52nd
11 Colin Thompson 55th
12 David Holmes 63rd

The groups for these will be drawn football-style (top four seeds in separate groups, next four seeds in separate groups, etc) into Groups A-D in the tournament proper now.

The remaining 10 will be split into two groups of 5, again drawn football-style (see above) into two groups. You will play a Round Robin and do not come last or you will be eliminated. Wins are worth 2 points and losses are worth 0. In the event of a tie in the group we will revert to Net Run Rate as the first barometer (points scored / rounds played - points conceded / rounds played (excluding TBs)).

The remaining 10 who have to qualify are:

13 Matty Artell 64th
14 Dave O'Donnell 86th
15 Wesley Barton 116th
16 Gav Grace 129th
17 Sarah Binns 147th
18 Andy SC 159th
19 Jonathan Addison 171st
20 Stu Patrick 175th
21 Stephen E 186th
22 Edward Ashcroft unranked

There will be two weeks for this stage of the competition, your deadline is **FRIDAY 20 FEBRUARY 2026**.
