In the seedings you assume that the seed team will qualify to next round. Seeded team is always the team with the higher coefficient expect in QR3 of CL where is possible a team with lower coefficient to to seeded if has eliminated the seeded team in QR2. That happened that year with Thun and Petrzalka. What I dont understand is why do you assume that Thun and Petrzalka will qualify cause of being seeded since their opponents have higher coefficient? It is logical to assume that a seeded team will qualify to next round when has higher coefficient but is it logical to do same assumption when unseeded team has higher coefficient?

Since Bert is on (a well deserved) vacation, I'll try to answer it.
Probably it has to do in the way the database is formed.
in short: Every team which is seeded will progress to the next round,
and every unseeded team which has eliminated a seeded team will 'replace' the latter.

You're right saying the higher ranked team should progress to the next round, but the database
only looks at the points given to the replacing team, and not to their actual ranking points.

BTW. This is solely based on the assumption that the seeded team will progress to the next round

Thun has a higher coefficient than Malmö (they also beat a seeded team in QR2), so assuming Thun progresses is logical. For Petrzalka it's indeed illogical to assume they will progress. On my site I indeed assume that Partizan will progress to the CL-GS.

Wehn you win in the first 2 rounds you get the coefficient the other if that is higher
But that coefficient only counts for 1 round. It still is more logic that you assume that the team with the highest coefficient (of it's own) progresses.
