The procedure of drawing the League of Conferences The path of champions: Ten pairs (four pairs from the champions of the third qualifying round of the League of Conferences for the purpose of drawing were marked as the winner of a pair of 1-4; six pairs from the path of champions of the third qualifying round of the Europa League UEFA for the purpose of drawing were marked as pairs 1-6) divided into the same.
Since at the time of the draw, the teams that have overcome the third selection round of the conference league are not known, the higher coefficient in each pair with the teams of the third qualifying round is applied for sowing. Thus, if the team in the third selection round has such a factor that gives it the right to be sown when drawing the Round of the Playoff League of Conferences, the winner of this pair automatically falls into the number of sown during the draw.
In addition, since at the time of drawing, the teams that get to the Round of the Playoff League of conferences from the path of champions of the third selected League of the Europa League are not known, a lower coefficient is used in each individual pair of the third selection round of the Europa League.
Three bowls were prepared for the draw. In the first place the balls with the names of the sown couple, in the second – bent.
Each bowl is taken one ball and placed in an empty bowl in the middle, where they are mixed. After that, they randomly choose one of two balls – the team from this ball will be a mistress of the first match in a formed pair. The procedure is repeated for the rest of the balls in bowls with sown and free pairs, taking into account possible restrictions.
The main way: 38 teams are divided into three groups of ten teams/pairs (groups 1-3) and a group of eight teams/pairs (Group 4) with the same number of sown/non-sown in each group.
Since at the time of the draw, the teams that have overcome the third selection round of the conference league are not known, a higher coefficient is used in each individual pair of the third selected round. Thus, if one of the teams is entitled to be sown in the playoff round, then the winner of this couple will be sown in any case.
In addition, because at the time of the draw, the teams that move from the main path of the third selection round of the Europa League are not known, a lower coefficient in the pair is used in the case of drawing.
Three bowls were prepared for the draw. In the first place the balls with the numbers of the sown teams/couples of groups 1-3, to the second-with numbers of not possible.
Each bowl is taken one ball and placed in an empty bowl in the middle, where they are mixed. After that, accidentally choose one of two balls – team/couple with the number from this ball will be the Lord The first match in a paired match.
The procedure is repeated for the rest of the balls.
Group 4 The procedure for this group will be the same – with the only difference being that the sown commands/couples are assigned numbers from 1 to 4, and non -standard – from 5 to 8.
When will the playoffs of the conference League playoffs take place? The playoffs of the playoffs of the League of Conferences will take place on August 21 and 28.
