Hi all,

In Country ranking 2005 at place 9th and 10th there is
Scotland an Belgium with equal points.

I assume that the better placed country has scored more
points in the last year. But what happens if the points in
the last year are the same. Is then the year before used?

Thanks for any hints,
Mauro

In the UEFA CL and UC regulations Annex II.9 is written: "In the case of equal coefficients, the UEFA Administration will take a final decision, taking into consideration the individual coefficient of the most recent season. "

So it's undefined what will happen if the coeffcients of the most recent season are the same. To my knowledge that did not occur yet.

But in this case :
51 Andorra 0.000 0.000 0.000 0.000 0.000 0.000 1/ 1
52 San Marino 0.000 0.000 0.000 0.000 0.000 0.000 1/ 1

Whay Andorra is higher - I guess by letter preference A is ahead of S

No I think because in year 1956
Andorra has scored 0.0000000000000000000000000000001 point
what is higher that 0.0000000000000000000000000000000 from San Marino ;-))

In this graph you see that Andorra and San Marino have switched places several times. Bert answered this question long time ago (I couldn't find the link), it was something relative to his software, but not alphabetic order.

Thx, isidromv. Now I remember. The link to the article is here.

So the order in my rankings is rather arbitrary. Which suits me, because there is no further info available.
