After the approval of a new format for the UEFA Intertoto Cup at the
Rome meeting in September, the issue of the allocation of vacant places
at the closure of registration remained. Whereas these places were
hitherto awarded to the associations at the top of the UEFA ranking, the
Executive Committee has now opted for a more even distribution. Still
in accordance with the ranking, the associations will be divided into
three groups. If there is a vacant berth in a group, it will first of
all be offered to an association in the same group. The additional team
from this association will then enter the first round of the
competition, irrespective of the association's ranking.



Taken from another message board but originally from the UEFA website. I tried to find the original document but i cant track it down.
