First they determine Path D based on the results of League D... 1. 2. 3. 4. Then Path C based on the results of League C.... 1. 2. 3. 4. - already qualified 5. Then Path B based on the results of League B.... 1. 2. - already qualified 3. - will likely qualify 4. - already qualified 5. - already qualified 6. - already qualified 7. - will likely(?) qualify 8. - already qualified 9. 10. - already qualified 11. 12. Then Path A based on the results of League A... 1-11. all qualified or will likely qualify 12. So Path A has 3 open spots. We have to fill those with League B teams... but those also already qualified or are in Path B. So now we have to fill those with League C teams. 6. 7. 8. And that's how you get a Path A with mostly League C teams. dcro 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vektor 3,177 Posted November 17, 2019 #232 Share Posted November 17, 2019 (edited) Oh shit, I knew that I forgot something about this stupid PO system. I forgot that the non-group winners of NL will be in a draw if they can't fill a path "perfectly". In other words, if everything goes as expected, will be in a draw to determine whether they will be in Path A or Path C. 3 of those teams will be in Path A and 1 will be in Path C.

Vektor 3,177 Posted November 17, 2019 #233 Share Posted November 17, 2019 (edited) Oh ffs, UEFA made a rule to help host teams. Which means that they want to avoid having two host teams in the same PO path if they can. Which also means that there definitely won't be 3 host teams in Path C (Scotland is already there). So both and can't be in Path C. Edited November 17, 2019 by Vektor Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OlympicIRL 4,756 Posted November 17, 2019 #234 Share Posted November 17, 2019 Looks like all mediocre nations should aim to get relegated to the bottom tier in future to increase qualification chances (unless this is a once-off system). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They already change everything for the World Cup qualification, they even reorganized the NL divisions, so who the hell knows what they will do the next time.

Let us pray to every deity this is what it is I'm not even trying to get this system.

dcro 10,172 Posted November 17, 2019 #237 Share Posted November 17, 2019 If I'm getting this right, Iceland will likely receive a free pass (meaning, play-off with no opponents)? #banbestmen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dcro 10,172 Posted November 17, 2019 #239 Share Posted November 17, 2019 Oh, now I see it. Well, Iceland rather belongs to the third-tier nations anyway, so it all fits... #banbestmen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LDOG 2,181 Posted November 17, 2019 #240 Share Posted November 17, 2019 The path D place is nonsense. They should award 2 places for path A instead. hckošice 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
