Champions Path

The balls containing the names of the seeded teams will be placed in one bowl and the balls containing the names of the unseeded teams were put into another bowl. One ball was taken from each bowl and placed in a large empty bowl in the middle, where they were shuffled. The first team drawn plays the tie at home. The last two balls containing unseeded teams will be drawn one after another to pair them.
