While looking at UC seeding i got some questions:

1. Why are in the region groups 28/24/22 teams instead of 24/24/26 ?

2. Why dont they put the 2 luxembourg teams into the central group instead of nothern and Vaduz and Dogana into the central instead of southern group ?

All the teams qualified for QR1 are allocated to a group, depending on their geographical situation :
* Southern-Mediterranean: Albania, Andorra, Bosnia, Bulgaria, Croatia, Cyprus, Greece, Israel, Italy, Macedonia, Malta, Montenegro, Portugal, Romania, San Marino, Serbia, Slovenia, Spain, and Turkey.
* Central-East: Armenia, Austria, Azerbaijan, Belarus, Czech Republic, France, Georgia, Germany, Hungary, Kazakhstan, Liechtenstein, Moldova, Poland, Russia, Slovakia, Switzerland, and Ukraine.
* Northern: Belgium, Denmark, England, Estonia, Faroe Islands, Finland, Iceland, Ireland, Latvia, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Netherlands, Northern Ireland, Norway, Scotland, Sweden, and Wales.

If the number of teams in a groupe is an odd, they have to move a team from a group to another.

For Dogana, it's not sure : There are 23teams in central and 23 in southern, so UEFA will have to move one team. Bert supposes Dogana will move frome southern to Central...but that's not sure.

Bert, in QR2-south, I believe Maccabi Netanya are certainly unseeded because it is clear that at least four teams from "unknown" section will have higher coefficient - Hajduk, Vojvodina, Borac and Intertoto winner Ita-Gre/Srb.

Cro_nogomet, you are right. At least within the presumptions written above the list.

After yesterday's Intertoto matches, Debrecen are now surely seeded in QR2 (central-east) and the winner of IT08 (Sturm/Shakhtyor - Honved) is unseeded.

In Southern group, it's now known that the winner of IT04 (Grasshopper - Chernomorets) is surely seeded.

Just ended: Sahtyor Karaganda 1:1 Debrecen.

With this result DVSC will definitely go through to the 2nd round with a home win.
