How will Europe/Africa teams be decided ?

 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)

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

    • KHL launches 3x3 championships with 8 teams, it starts on 19th December and finishes in July
    • I remember when I was a child and I was on holiday with my parents in Tunisia, I think in 1999? We were on a trip to the desert near the border with Algeria. The guide said something like that: Algeria is a few minutes from here but we won't go there because there is a war going on there and it's not safe.
    • Netanyahu is bad but unfortunately Hamas helps him maintain power. Every attack they make is a reinforcement of Netanyahu's rhetoric about the country's security, etc. In the fall of 2023, Netanyahu was already losing support and then suddenly a big Hamas attack on a festival near the Gaza Strip. Coincidence? It wouldn`t surprise me at all if Netanyahu knew about the plan for this attack but did nothing so that he would then have the tools to maintain his power. I also remember Ariel Sharon - he was probably even more radical than Netanyahu but he had a brain hemorrhage and fell into a coma.
    • Ah yes, post-colonial bickering never gets too old. Let me grab my popcorn!   Netanyahu is on a personal revenge mission to avenge his brother's death for his entire political life and people still act like they're surprised by his actions
    • MId-1962.  Almost all the Jews were driven out in a few days, even though they had been living there since Classical, pre-Muslim times.   Perhaps our friend could give us details of of any current Algerian plans to welcome them back, restore their property, guarantee their safety etc etc?    
    • In what year did Algeria free itself from French influence? 1960, exactly?
    • Or better, perhaps he'd like to tell us what happened to the 140,000 Jews who were living in Algeria in 1960, as against the 200 who live there now? 
    • There are still many people of Jewish origin in Central and Eastern Europe who have nothing to do with the state of Israel. What ties does Zelensky have to the state of Israel? Apart from he waś there as president of Ukraine and speaking in the Knesset? Nothing. In the power circles in Moscow there were/are many people of Jewish origin and what about that? A large part of the power apparatus of the USSR was based on Jews, especially in the years shortly after WWII.   Instead of constantly writing about Jews, would be better to tell me which country Algeria has better diplomatic relations with: Tunisia or Egypt?  
    • Handy guide for the perplexed.  
    • I`m a bit disappointed with the starts of the Italian team. I was counting on progress from last year. And here it looks like Bagnis is still very uneven. In Cortina there will be 3 competitions with medals to win and it would be a shame not to use our track to win 1-2 medals. The same goes for luge.
