Basically, I don’t understand how this fits in the schedule if you don’t know which teams are going to qualify beforehand and we already have an 82 game schedule planned from the beginning of the season. Do they cancel a game that was originally planned for later in the season between the teams that play in the knockout? I haven’t been able to find a good answer to this by reading through the rules they just keep repeating that it doesn’t add games to the overall regular season
