888pl Finals Season 1 Qualification

Just seen a post on 888pl site that says "players MUST play a minimum of 10 Home (online) and 10 Away (in venue) games".

So does this mean even if you have played 400 games at home but no away games you can't qualify.
Also if you have no internet access, but play 50 away games you can't qualify.

can someone confirm this please.
thanks

i would say that you would definitely have to play at least 10 pub games.

not sure about playing online games as well, but i doubt it.

furthermore, are you sure that its not a qualification for the dream team scoreboard?

i just want confirmation.
Surely you can't penalise some that plays 50 away games but doesn't have internet access. Can you?

"This means even if you win a Grand Final seat in a Re-buy event or satellite you cannot take part in that final until you meet this criteria. The seat would be held over until the next finals series when you have met the criteria."

That's what it was last year as well.

They are basically doing that so that "888PL players" are in the finals, not just any random off the street who wants to take advantage of the money up for grabs. I do see your point for home games though. The reverse though, I think is fine. Get out and play! :)

In saying that you obviously have internet access ;)

Mmmnnn getting to the 10 "Away" (in venue games) in the 12 or so week season is a little hard for some tho ..
