User:Quidster4040/sandbox/2017–18 CONCACAF SuperLiga qualifying phase

The 2017–18 CONCACAF SuperLiga qualifying phase and play-off round will begin on 29 June and end on 24 August 2017. A total of 156 teams compete in the qualifying phase and play-off round to decide 22 of the 48 places in the group stage of the 2017–18 CONCACAF SuperLiga.

All times are EST (UTC–5).

Round and draw dates
The schedule of the qualifying phase and play-off round is as follows (all draws are held at the CONCACAF headquarters in New York City, United States).

Matches may also be played on Tuesdays or Wednesdays instead of the regular Thursdays due to scheduling conflicts.

Format
In the qualifying phase and play-off round, each tie is played over two legs, with each team playing one leg at home. The team that scores more goals on aggregate over the two legs advances to the next round. If the aggregate score is level, the away goals rule is applied, i.e. the team that scores more goals away from home over the two legs advances. If away goals are also equal, then 30 minutes of extra time is played. The away goals rule is again applied after extra time, i.e. if there are goals scored during extra time and the aggregate score is still level, the visiting team advances by virtue of more away goals scored. If no goals are scored during extra time, the tie is decided by penalty shoot-out.

In the draws for each round, teams are seeded based on their CONCACAF club coefficients at the beginning of the season, with the teams divided into seeded and unseeded pots. A seeded team is drawn against an unseeded team, with the order of legs in each tie decided by draw. Due to the limited time between matches, the draws for the second and third qualifying rounds take place before the results of the previous round are known. For these draws (or in any cases where the result of a tie in the previous round is not known at the time of the draw), the seeding is carried out under the assumption that the team with the higher coefficient of an undecided tie advances to this round, which means if the team with the lower coefficient is to advance, it simply takes the seeding of its defeated opponent. Prior to the draws, CONCACAF may form "groups" in accordance with the principles set by the Club Competitions Committee, but they are purely for convenience of the draw and for ensuring that teams from the same association (or associations with political conflicts) are not drawn against each other, and do not resemble any real groupings in the sense of the competition.

Teams
A total of 156 teams are involved in the qualifying phase and play-off round, including the 15 losers of the third qualifying round (10 in Champions Route, 5 in League Route) which enter the play-off round. The 22 winners of the play-off round advance to the group stage to join the 16 teams which enter in the group stage and the 10 losers of the Champions League play-off round (5 in Champions Route, 5 in League Route).

Below are the participating teams (with their 2017 CONCACAF club coefficients), grouped by their starting rounds.

First qualifying round
The draw was held on 19 June 2017, 13:00 EST, at the CONCACAF headquarters in New York City, United States.

Prior to the draw the participating teams were placed in ten groups with five seeded and five unseeded teams, depending on their UEFA club coefficient.

Seeding 2
A total of 66 teams will play in the second qualifying round: 16 teams which enter in this round, and the 50 winners of the first qualifying round. Prior to the draw the participating teams were placed in six groups with five seeded and five unseeded teams (groups 1–3) or six seeded and six unseeded teams (groups 4–6), depending on their CONCACAF club coefficient. Since the draw for the second qualifying rounds took place before the results of the previous round were known, the seeding was carried out under the assumption that the team with the higher coefficient of an undecided tie advances to this round, which means if the team with the lower coefficient is to advance, it simply takes the seeding of its defeated opponent. (Note: The numbers for each team were pre-assigned by CONCACAF so that the draw could be held in one run for groups with ten teams and another run for the groups with twelve teams.)
