| Seedings in UEFACUP | |
| Author: iwan
Date: 08-05-2006, 01:27 | In the 1st round off the UEFACUP there are 40 stronger teams seeded and 40 weeker teams not seeded. I prefair a system to seed teams about the ranking off theire countries and the prestations in the national leagues and cups. The most logic way to seed will be: -The holder -The cupwinners off the 15 highest ranked countries. -The loosers off CL-Q3 -The nrs-3 off the nrs-7 too -14 in the ranking. That will be totally 40. |

Date: 08-05-2006, 11:29 | Nick, Eintracht Frankfurt is not a second division team. They are currently 14th in Bundesliga and are not going to be relegated. But I agree with the idea of your question, you can change it to "why should FC Gretna be seeded?" (If they win their cup final and start in R1) Seeding should have nothing to do with your domestic success, but only with your European merits (your own and partly your countries..). Especially since cup winners are often the weakest teams entering the competition. |

Instead the nrs-3 off the nrs-7 too -14 it's possible too to seed the 8 highest teams in ranking, the rest off the seeded teams can be received at the same way I've earlier told. |

Date: 09-05-2006, 09:26 | Dear Iwan, The seeding criteria you propose make the european performance of every club in the past seasons absolutely irrelevant. This way you are shutting of every club from a smaller coutry from reaching the later stages of the tournament even if this club has a long tradition of success in Europe. If you play every year your first matches against teams from the Top 3 you will sooner or later loose |
