Article 18 Ranking of runners-up - Women's Under-17

18.01

If it is necessary to rank the League B runners-up from round 1 to determine which team is promoted to League A for round 2 (see Paragraph 14.04a), the results against the fourth-placed teams are discarded when there are groups of three and four. Should there exceptionally be groups of two, the results against the third- and fourth-placed teams are discarded.

18.02

If there is a vacancy to fill in the final tournament and it is therefore necessary to rank the League A runners-up from round 2 (see Paragraph 16.04), all matches are taken into account. Should there exceptionally be groups of three, the results against the fourth-placed teams are discarded. Should there exceptionally be groups of two, the results against the third- and fourth-placed teams are discarded.
