There used to be a tournament conducted by futures first called trade mogul, which was to trade on S&P, Oil, Gold and eur-usd. I came 2nd in india in that tournament, they called the top 25 for interview, I got rejected in the interview round, they said I am too old to learn trading and my risk apetite is very small as per their aptitude test but I had taken large risks in the tournament which contradicts themselves. That was two years ago. I came 2nd just by taking huge risks with normal method, but if I had done the same thing with real money results would have been drastic
So, any tournament that evaluates you as per return percentage is not a good method of evaluating trading performance as per my view as each person has different risk apetite.
I prefer zerodha 60 day challenge rather which does not rank traders but applauds those who are consistent in their performance by refunding all deducted brokerages.

And they used to call people with lower ranks too for the interview. I was ranked around 50 (got only a t-shirt ), but friends with lower ranks got interview calls. Anyway, its not difficult to get into FF as their test is quite easy if you are quick with basic calculations, I think yours was just the age factor.
