Turkish European Qualification

I have a question regarding the European qualification via the league. The rules state that;

Top Two teams qualify for the European Champions Cup

Teams placed 3rd-6th qualify for the Euro Cup (Depending on the Turkish Cup winner)

The bit in bold is the one that I need clarification on. In the Semi-Finals of the Turkish Cup are Bursaspor, Fenerbahce, Galatasaray and Besiktas. Fener are 2nd, Gala 1st and Besiktas 4th, Bursaspor are 8th. Would I be right in saying that if one of Gala or Fener won it, then the spot would go to the 7th place team? Is that the same with Besiktas?

Anwsers would be welcome.

Yes, I think so unless Buraspor get to the final then they go in to Europe. If they finish 6th and get to teh final then 7th should get the next spot I think.

Smashing. That would mean that should one of the other three win it (Bursaspor lost the first leg at home 2-1) then I'll be in Europe, much needed money.

I think so. However I could be wrong. What position are you in btw.

I'm 7th at the moment, I'd like to come 6th though so I don't have to risk it.

I think you will have to come 6th. If Buraspor dont go through the final then 6th will get it. if they they get to the final then it will be them, 4th and 5th and you will miss out completely.

I'm only two points away from 6th, and I have to play the said team so I can get 6th, I can even reach 5th!

Well then do it mate. Go for it. Im sure you can do it. .

Nottingham is wrong.

There are 4 places and they go to 3rd, 4th, 5th & 6th.

If the Cup winners finish outside the top six then they take a place at the expense of the 6th place club - 7th never gets a place unless Turkey gain more European places.

It is obviously not the first season

OK, let me figure it out.

Top 2: Champions League

3rd, 4th, 5th, Cup Winner/Finalist: Europa League

6th gets it if Cup Winner/Finalist already qualifies for Europe.

I came fifth on the last day of the season so panick over! Aiming for the Champions League next season.

This is correct.

Glad to see you finished 5th anyway
