superally07 387 Posted November 25, 2007 Share Posted November 25, 2007 On skysports it says the 8 best runners up will go into playoffs... how do u judge 'the best' u cant say points or wins... because we will play less games ? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluenose_72 198 Posted November 25, 2007 Share Posted November 25, 2007 in groups 1-8, the results against teams that were in pot 6(andorra, faroes etc...) will NOT count when it comes to seeing who are the best 8 runners up. so all teams will have their points total out of 24 instead of 30.

Stardog 11 Posted November 26, 2007 Share Posted November 26, 2007 what if team from pot 6 (unlikely i know) finishes in runners up spot? what happens then? They won't And I guess it still wouldn't make any difference. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

What I'm led to believe its not taken from the 6th seed but the actual last place in the group so say the 4th/5th seeds finish last results against them would be dropped Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
blueben_d 40 Posted November 27, 2007 Share Posted November 27, 2007 It's not about the seedings, whoever finishes BOTTOM of the group has their results disregarded with repect to 2nd place. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
