I think that's what's already happened, drag the timeline all the way to the right for what is on now (nothing).

Haha yep just realised im watching the 1st round draw...oops!!

AshevilleNCClaret · Post by **AshevilleNCClaret** » Wed Jun 20, 2018 12:37 pm

So, the main draw is not until 14:00CET, 20 June, Nyon... so another 1.5 hours?

I think the "live" feed" is just the previous drawings.

Also, does anyone find it funny when they put the seeded and the unseeded balls into the same pot that the guy stirs it? there are 2 balls which will automatically face each other..... no need to mix it up anymore.

14:00 Central European Time = an hour ahead of us so 13:00 our time.

Hats of to UEFA for timing the draw to coincide with a world cup kick off btw. Planning at it's finest.

UEFA are having a good lunch. They've put the draw back 20 mins (according to their website)

Pure coincidence that coincides with halftime? Do you think they can conclude the draw in 15 mins?

Think it's starting. Finally. So yeah, they wanted to watch the first half of the Portugal game.

claretblue · Post by **claretblue** » Wed Jun 20, 2018 1:50 pm

...and we're back!

Draw procedure:
The teams are divided into seven groups. Within the seven groups, teams are divided equally into seeded teams and unseeded teams (the seven winners of the preliminary round ties take the coefficient of the seeded team from their tie). Each side in each group is allocated a number.

There are two draws: the first for groups 1 to 5 (which all feature ten teams), then one for groups 8 and 9 (12 teams).
Balls containing the seeded teams' numbers are placed in one bowl, with balls for the unseeded teams' numbers in another.
A ball is taken from each bowl and put into a large empty bowl in the middle, where they are shuffled.

The clubs whose numbers correspond to the first ball drawn play their first game at home. Teams from the same association must not be drawn against each other.

Clubs' coefficients are now determined EITHER by the sum of all points won in the previous five years OR by the association coefficient over the same period – WHICHEVER IS THE HIGHER (under a new system introduced for 2018/19 onwards).

d'yer follow?
