@eye, for the definitive answer to your questions you have to ask UEFA. How should I knoweye wrote: ↑Tue Apr 23, 2024 11:03 @bert.kassies I want to ask you few questions because I can't understand how they are planning the rebalancing based on the regulations.
1) UEFA published a rebalanced access list at regulations and the only change at CL's access list is that CHs of Sweden and Poland were promoted to Q2. Based on which paragraph of CL regulations has this done?
2) At 3.11 of EL regulations is stated "In the event of any other vacancies, and further knock-on effects in the UEFA Conference League, priority is given to the best ranked club(s) or the cup winner(s) (or the club(s) replacing it if it qualifies for the UEFA Champions League) of the association ranked highest in the access list for the previous round of the corresponding path." I find this paragraph pointless when they don't explain when the priority is at the highest ranked club and when the priority is at CW. Forgetting the pointless comment which are the possible other vacancies at EL that were not covered from ECL-W rebalancing? The only missing spots I can see is when CL-W and/or EL-W has/have qualified domestically at EL and I am not even sure if these cases aren't considered knock-on effects of CL. So if they are reffering at these cases which club has priority? Are there any other possible vacancies?
Before the regulations were published I learned that there are now 2 types of rebalancing: direct and indirect. Which I tried to explain at the bottom of https://kassiesa.net/uefa/2024-rebalanc ... nking.html
The ban on Russian clubs is clearly indirect rebalancing since no title holder is involved. It must be CL art. 3.06 and EL art. 3.11 which try to decribe this, but do so rather poorly.
If clubs in a certain round are eligible for rebalancing then CW always have priority. And if say N2 and N3 are in the same round, then N2 has priority over N3. These articles have nothing to do with club ranking.
