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.

gollark: A vaguely convincing argument I heard about the humans-liking-punishment thing is that it effectively works as a species-wide precommitment to punish people for doing bad things, which discourages people from doing those bad things in advance.
