During the Chimaera event's 1st running there was a glitch that allowed 6 star AA to compete so long as the other Rebel ships were 7 star.
Something similar may have happened for the Falcon event. Remember that we get Vader's Executor as the capital ship in this event and it may have looked for a 7 star TIE Advanced/7 star Vader instead of a 7 stat capital ship for entry requirements.
Unfair perhaps but not necessarily a cheat.
