11th December - Cancelled. No further entries were received into the qualifier, so with 6 places available in the main event and only 6 entries into the qualifier, all six go straight into the main event.
4th December - Due to withdrawals from the main event, the viability of the Qualifier is in doubt. CNZ and the WCF are in discussion to decide whether to proceed. A decision is expected by 10th December.
