Preliminary rounds
Шаблон:Main article FFA member federations teams compete in various state-based preliminary rounds to win one of 21 places in the competition proper (round of 32). All Australian clubs were eligible to enter the qualifying process through their respective FFA member federation, however only one team per club is permitted entry in the competition. The preliminary rounds operate within a consistent national structure whereby club entry into the competition is staggered in each state/territory, ultimately leading to round 7 with the winning clubs from that round gaining direct entry into the round of 32. The format for Queensland was restructured in 2019, whereby the Central & Northern Queensland region competes for one place, and South East Queensland competes for three places.[3]
The first matches of the preliminary rounds began in February 2019, and the final matches of the preliminary rounds scheduled was completed in June 2019.
