**Important information**

* **The Fez Rule**: Coachers will have a maximum of 1 prize card selection across all competitions. In the event of multiple placings from a single coach, they will be awarded the highest pick they have in the draft. All coaches will then move up 1 place in the draft. The next highest ranked coach from either the Champion, challenger or classic competitions (in the order of 11th champion, 11th challenger, 11th classic, 12 champion.. ect) will then move into the draft to ensure the 30 prize card selections are made. This not include then GDS Cup win.
* 1st place in Starter competition will remain at pick 33 and 1st in Contender at pick 32 regardless of any movement above.
* In the event the contender or starter competition has a higher selection in the draft, picks 31 and 32 will be awarded to the highest ranking contender and starter competition coach who does not have a prize card selection.
* Coaches who forfeit a prize card selection due to the 1 card limit will receive an additional 9 Player Elite  Pack for every forfeited prize card.
