Archief - UEFA EURO 2012: Polen-Oekraïne

1.3. Match points
Points are awarded for each match played in the qualifying competition and final
tournament. For each match, points are awarded as follows:
a) 10,000 points are awarded to each national team irrespective of the result.
b) A win is worth 30,000 points and a draw 10,000 points.
c) For each goal scored, 501 points are added, and for each goal conceded, 500
points are deducted. This rule also applies to any goals scored during extra
time.
45
d) If a match ends with a penalty shoot-out, both teams are awarded 10,000 points
(as for a draw). In addition, the winning team is awarded an extra 10,000
points. The goals scored in the penalty shoot-out do not count.

1.4. Bonus points
To acknowledge the different levels of difficulty encountered in different stages of a
competition and to give it a weighting in the calculation, bonus points as indicated
in the table below are awarded to teams for any match in the qualifying competition
play-offs and in the final tournaments. Bonuses are guaranteed and do not depend
on the result of the respective match.

1.5. Cycle calculation
For each individual national team, the points obtained in all official matches during
a given cycle (or half cycle) are added together and divided by the number of
matches played during such period. The result is the coefficient of the cycle (or half
cycle).
For teams that do not qualify for a final tournament, only results of matches played
in the qualifying competition are taken into account to calculate the coefficient of
the cycle.
1.6. Weighting factor
More recent results are given greater consideration. The coefficient of the half
cycle counts twice (weighting factor 2), the coefficient of the most recent cycle also
counts twice (weighting factor 2) and the coefficient of the less recent cycle counts
once (weighting factor 1).

2. Calculation method for compiling the rankings
The coefficients of the relevant two and a half cycles are each multiplied by their
respective weighting factor, added up and divided by five (corresponding to the
sum of the weighting factors). The result is the overall coefficient of the national
team, which is used to compile the rankings.
3. Particular cases
a) For associations that have not participated in certain cycles in the relevant
reference period, only cycles (and/or the half cycle) in which they were involved
are taken into account with their respective weighting factor. The final result is
divided by the sum of the weighting factors of the cycles (and/or the half cycle)
concerned.
b) In the case of an association that hosted a UEFA EURO or FIFA World Cup
final tournament during one of the last two full cycles and therefore has no
points from the tournament qualifying competition, the points earned in the
qualifying competition in the previous cycle are used (e.g. if an association
hosted a UEFA EURO final round and therefore has no points from the
corresponding qualifying competition, the points earned in the qualifying
competition of the preceding FIFA World Cup are used).
c) In the case of an association hosting the next final tournament (either UEFA
EURO or FIFA World Cup), which will therefore not have participated in the last
qualifying competition (i.e. the qualifying competition preceding the draw for
which the rankings are used), the coefficient will be based solely on the last two
cycles with their respective weighting factors.
