Changes in calculation of UEFA team coefficients

Extract of article 6.02 and Annexe II point 6 of the 2004/05 UEFA Champions League rules

Article 6.02
These rankings are drawn up on the basis of a combination of 33 per
cent of the value of the respective national association's coefficient
for the period from 1999/2000 to 2003/04 inclusive (see Annexe II,
points 5 to 10) and the clubs' individual performances in the UEFA
club competitions during the same period. Each club retains the
cumulative number of points obtained during this period. Qualifying-
round matches will not be taken into account as far as individual club
performances are concerned (see Annexe II, points 6 and 10). If the
title-holders take part, they are always the top seed.

Annexe II

The table is compiled as follows:

- a win to be worth 2 points (1 point for qualifying-round matches)
- a draw 1 point (½ point for qualifying-round matches)
- a defeat 0 points

Qualifying-round results are taken into account only for the
calculation of the association's coefficient.

Until the 2003/04 season, clubs which reached the quarter-finals,
semi-finals or final of the UEFA Champions League or the quarter-
finals, semi-finals or final of the UEFA Cup were awarded an extra
point for each such round. In addition, one point was awarded for
participation in the UEFA Champions League. As of the 2004/05 season,
clubs which reach the first knock-out round, quarter-finals, semi-
finals or final of the UEFA Champions League or the quarter-finals,
semi-finals or final of the UEFA Cup are awarded an extra point for
each such round.

In addition, three points are awarded for participation in the UEFA
Champions League.

Results obtained in the UEFA Intertoto Cup do not count for the
coefficient rankings determining the number of places in the UEFA
Champions League and UEFA Cup.
