The tournament system is an innovative point round robin system. The basic principle of this system is to avoid seeded players meeting each other early in the tournament, thus reducing the possibility of premature elimination and ensuring the scientific and rational nature of the tournament.
First round of random draw
: In the UEFA Champions League, the Swiss round system means that instead of playing the traditional group matches, the tournament uses a random draw for the first round.
Subsequent rounds are sorted by points
: Subsequently, based on the point results of the first round, the matchups in the second round will be sorted according to the points scored in the first round, with high scores against high scores and low scores against low scores, to ensure that opponents who have faced each other in the previous round will not meet again in the next round.
Ensuring fair competition
: This system of play is designed to ensure that each team has the opportunity to play against opponents of varying strengths, thus providing a fairer indication of a team's true strengths.
Specifically for the Champions League, this means that each team will always meet some strong teams in their first eight games, resulting in a heavy dose of powerhouse competition. This change in the format takes some getting used to for fans, but also brings a new level of spectacle and competition.
In the UEFA Champions League play-offs, matches are usually set up as a two-legged home-and-away series to ensure fairness in the competition. The total score of the teams in the two-legged matches will determine the qualification. This setup increases the suspense and spectacle of the matches, making each game crucial.
