The draw was revealed on the FQ Facebook page today at 12pm, hosted by FQ commentator James Caughlin, and also determined the fixtures and pathway to the Quarter Finals, Semi Finals and Grand Finals.
64 of the best players from across the state have qualified for the next round of the Knockout Stages, which kicked off with the Round of 32 last week.
Today, 16 competitors were drawn against each other for the next round of matches, while the pathway to the Grand Final was also decided.
