Teams from same previous group avoiding each other in a cup round? (not fixed)

I know cup tie mappings take care of your traditional group A winner vs. group B runner-up and such.

In cases where a couple of best third place teams, for example, advance to the next round, is there a flag somewhere to keep teams from the same group from drawing each other? I can't see how the Euros do it... I know we can seed by position, points etc in previous group but I don't think that would do anything to guarantee you can't draw the teams from your group?

Oh yeah, thanks. Any idea what "rowing nations" are (the bottom option)? Rivals maybe?

Nations that don't like each other for political reasons. Spain/Gibraltar, Kosovo/Serbia, Ukraine/russia, China/Taiwan etc.

Not sure if it's hardcoded to do all of those if you just choose rowing nations, but I believe there is also an option to choose two specific nations as rowing nations to keep them apart.

Don't forget Azerbaijan/Armenia. Always wondered if UEFA would carry that rule into a Euros group stage if both teams qualified, maybe all the way to the final?

Other than that I think you've covered all of UEFA's hidden blocks, except Kosovo also can't play Bosnia - the Srpska part of the tripartite presidency will never go along with recognition
