Hosts Pot 1: 7 hosts (7 balls) Pot 2: Group A to G (7 balls) Step 1: We first draw the hosts, allocating them according to their coefficient ranking. Then we will draw the group composed of three teams. Specific case: should the group composed of three teams be the group with FC Encamp (Andorra) as host and in position 4, we will simply block the position 3 in this group so it becomes a group with three teams. As this group no longer has a team in position 3, only four slots remain for the teams ranked in position 3 so one of the teams will be placed into the pot 3 from pot 4 with the teams ranked in position 4. 3
Position 4 ( less host, 5 or 6 balls) Pot 3: Teams ranked 43 to 48 Step 2: We then draw the teams into position 4, from group A to G, missing out the group which already has a host assigned to that position and the group of three teams. Position 3 (less hosts, 5 balls) Pot 4: Teams ranked 36 to 42 Step 3: We then draw the teams into position 3, from group A to G, missing out the groups which already have a host assigned to that position, and the possible position which will be blocked if the specific case in step 1 occurs. Position 2 (less hosts, 5 balls) Pot 5: Teams ranked 29 to 35 Step 4: We then draw the 5 teams into position 2, from group A to G, missing out the groups which already have a host assigned to that position Position 1 (less hosts, 5 balls) Pot 6: Teams ranked 22 to 28 Step 5: We finally draw the 5 remaining teams into position 1, from group A to G, missing out the groups which already have a host assigned to that position Matches must be completed by 12 August 2012 at the latest. Main Round The Main Round consists of 17 clubs, plus the 7 Preliminary Round group winners, i.e. 24 clubs. The clubs enter the competition according to their coefficient ranking and therefore, the clubs ranked 5 to 21 enter the competition directly into this round. The Main Round is composed of 6 groups of 4 teams. Teams are allocated into Group 1 to 6 and their position in the group is determined by their coefficient ranking, as shown below: Position 1: teams ranked 5 to 10 Position 2: teams ranked 11 to 16 Position 3: teams ranked 17 to 21 and one Preliminary Round group winner Position 4: 6 teams out of 7 Preliminary group winners* *Note: As there are seven Preliminary Round winners to be allocated into 6 groups, the seventh group winner will be allocated into the first available position 3 and its group will therefore contain two Preliminary Round group winners. 4
The winner and runner-up of each group in the Main Round qualify for the Elite Round (9-14 October 2012), together with the top 4 clubs in Europe, i.e. SL Benfica (Portugal), title-holder FC Barcelona (Spain), ElPozo Murcia (Spain) and Kairat Almaty (Kazakhstan).
