How World Cup Qualification works…

1. The Urban Tree World Cup and the qualifying rounds are just a bit of fun.. please don’t take it too seriously!
2. You will have the opportunity to vote for your favourite urban tree from each qualifying group – one group per day, for 16 days.
3. The 16 group winners will go into the first round to be drawn against those trees which made it to the last 16 in the 2020 tournament. If your favourite tree isn’t in one of the qualifying groups, it might already be through to the first round.
4. Urban tree selection is a complicated business and of course different trees suit different situations. We can’t accommodate all of the nuance into this game, so we are just asking you to select your overall favourite for an urban environment.
5. The competition will be played across social media and on our website. Please join the debate and make the case for your favourite using the hashtags #UrbanTreeWorldCup or #UTWC21
6. Votes will be cast in two separate polls (on Twitter and on the website) and combined for the final results. This means that the overall result will likely look different to either of the polls as they are running.
7. Please see Rule 1.
