[QUOTE="Brigantine, post: 883115, member: 73940"] Yes, except for the Continental Shield Final between the two eventual Challenge Cup qualifiers. That way it matches the number of fixtures in the Champions- and Challenge Cups. Not sure if it was a deliberate calculation, or just because that's how it was always done when it was still called the 'qualifying competition'. I can't decide if a two-legged SF is better for Heidelberg... it nixes Calvisano's home advantage, but also moderates the influence of luck. Heidelberg's SFs are on the same weekends as match days 5 & 6 of those comps (Jan 13/20). [I]Presumably[/I] the qualification finals will be on the same weekends as the Challenge Cup QFs and SF, [SIZE=2](unless Krasny Yar magically makes the QFs...)[/SIZE], and [I]presumably[/I] all 3 grand finals will be on the same weekend. Looks like they're all in the same stadium in Bilbao too. [/QUOTE]
