Obviously with the grace period soon being only a month, earning even 3000 TPs would be hard enough.
Used to be able to do 3000TPs 2 years in a row but that was removed as a possibility a number of years ago.
Doing a qualification every 2nd year nowadays would only save 1000 TPs as you would need to get 5000TPs every 2nd year and almost certainly would have periods of non-GGL status.
