🔥 30 ATHLETES QUALIFIED. THREE MORE CHANCES TO SHAKE UP THE PGF DRAFT BOARD. The Las Vegas Kings Qualifier added five new winners to the Season 10 pool, and two made an immediate impact. 👀 🥋 Alexis Torres Meza (145) and Kris Olivo (170) both went a perfect 3 wins with 3 finishes, entering the top 12 with a 7.50 Threat Index. London Horn and Shane Rogers enter at 3.75, while Brady Branscum checks in at 3.00. But the top four remain unchanged: 🥇 Travis Haven: 10.00 🥈 Elijah Chacon: 9.44 🥉 Chase Sosa: 9.17 🔥 Francisco Lo: 9.17 The Threat Index measures finishing aggression across recorded PGF qualifier matches, not overall grappler ability or draft value. 📅 THREE QUALIFIERS REMAIN: 🥋 November 8: Colorado Wolverines #2 🥋 November 14: Carolina Copperheads #3 🥋 December 5: Alabama Twisters 🏆 Draft Night: January 17 Swipe through for the full 30 athlete board and upcoming qualifiers. 📊 Who breaks into the top 10 next? 👇 Data, not opinions. #pgf #nogi #grappling

The draft board is 25 deep. Dallas added five names on Saturday, and James Ortiz made the loudest entrance — straight in at No. 5 with an 8.75 threat index. Tristan Caballero, Brandon George, Dominic DuCharme and Richar Nogueira round out the Dallas five. Travis Haven still sits on top: 9-0 in Season 10 qualifiers, all nine wins by finish, and a perfect 10.00 index. Qualifier records count every Season 10 attempt. Signed and rostered athletes are excluded, and tied indexes are ties — not separate rankings. Four qualifiers remain: Las Vegas (Oct 17), Colorado #2 (Nov 8), Carolina #3 in Durham (Nov 14), and Alabama (Dec 5). Swipe for the full board and the remaining schedule. Who joins the board next?
