Emergency competition
The emergency competition, the clubs were placed into 8 groups, four with Division 1 clubs and 4 with Division 2 clubs. The plan was for teams to play both home and away games within their group to decide the winners, who then continued in the knock-out stage. This worked for groups A to F but groups G and H were unable to all play games, and would not have affected which club finished top of each group.
