How urban and full of youth to have a billion of those little flags in one tweet with the VS emojis in between them.

How will Europe/Africa teams be decided ?

[crovitlaci 177]

They couldn't find 2 more teams to compete in the qualifiers so they gave wildcards, or what?

 The two unseeded teams will be the 5th and 6th highest ranked nations in Europe/Africa Zone after the ties in October 2018 based on the Davis Cup ranking. 

 

 

These are the teams who still have a chance. Top 2 will take the spots for next year's Davis Cup qualifier :

Here comes the complicated part:

Isreal don't play anymore matches so their points stand.

Ukraine is out beacuse they have no matches left and is not in the top 2 of these 5 teams.

Slovakia plays against Belarus at home in October. The Davis Cup ranking is really complicated, but according to my math Slovakia is also out beacuse they can only get a maximum of 175 points, which is just short of Portugal.

If Belarus wins against Slovakia, they take a top 2 spot

Portugal meets South Africa in October. If Portugal wins, they are secured a spot. 

 

So the scenario is:

Isreal only qualifies if both Belarus and Portugal lose.

Belarus qualfies if they win.

Portugal qualifies if they win.

If we win against Belarus we´ll qualify. It was already announced yesterday 

 

Only winners of SVK/BLR and POR/RSA will qualify, it will then depend on the ranking of the teams to know if we will play in KAZ or host CAN (ofc if we beat Belarus)

So, it means that despite beating Romania we still will be in second group of European/African zone

This also makes a lot more sense that it is based on the ranking in 2018 Europe/Africa zone group 1
