MONACO -- Surprise English champion Leicester is in the pot of top seeds for the Champions League group-stage draw on Thursday despite being ranked 31st of the 32 teams by UEFA.Leicester joins defending champion Real Madrid and other winners of the seven highest-ranked national leagues in the pot of No. 1 seeds, which includes CSKA Moscow.Only Russias Rostov -- also making its debut in Europes top club competition after beating Ajax in the playoffs on Wednesday -- is ranked lower than Leicester, which is now No. 99 in UEFAs standings.Leicester will also avoid powers like Barcelona, Bayern Munich and Juventus in the draw and cannot be put in a group with any English teams.In the pot of No. 2 seeds, Atletico Madrid, twice beaten in the final by its city rival in the past three seasons, and Borussia Dortmund seem the toughest possible opponents for Leicester.The third-seeded teams include PSV Eindhoven, which was top-seeded last season when the Dutch league was ranked above Russia, plus Tottenham and Borussia Moenchengladbach.Monaco, a quarterfinalist two seasons ago, stands out in the fourth-seeded pot which also includes former European Cup winner Celtic and Legia Warsaw, returning for the first time since reaching the quarterfinals in 1996.Beyond Pot 1, the seedings are decided by a teams ranking based mostly on its results in just the previous five seasons of the Champions League and Europa League.Spain has four teams in the draw, including Europa League winner Sevilla. Germany and England have four each and Italy has just two.Before the draw in Monaco, a series of meetings between top club delegates and UEFA should agree to change the entry slots from 2018 that would give underperforming Italy four guaranteed places. The big-three leagues are also set to get four places and avoid the playoff round in future.A total of 22 teams gained direct entry to Thursdays draw and 10 more places were allocated through the qualifying rounds which ended with the two-leg playoffs that were completed Wednesday.Rostov, ranked No. 146 by UEFA at the start of the competition, and CSKA will be kept apart from Dynamo Kiev, which is in the pot of No. 3 seeds.UEFA ruled in 2014 that Russian and Ukrainian national and club teams must be separated in draws during ongoing conflict in eastern Ukraine between government forces and pro-Russian separatists.Each team in Thursdays draw will get a basic fee of 12.7 million euros ($14.3 million) from UEFA, with more to be earned from results bonuses and advancing through the knockout rounds. The 32 teams will share an overall prize fund of around 1.3 billion euros ($1.5 billion).The top two teams in each of the eight groups advance to the knockout rounds starting in February.The final is on June 3 at the Millennium Stadium in Cardiff, Wales.---SeedingsPot 1: Real Madrid (Spain), Barcelona (Spain), Leicester (England), Bayern Munich (Germany), Juventus (Italy), Benfica (Portugal), Paris Saint-Germain (France), CSKA Moscow (Russia).Pot 2: Atletico Madrid (Spain), Borussia Dortmund (Germany), Arsenal (England), Manchester City (England), Sevilla (Spain), Porto (Portugal), Napoli (Italy), Bayer Leverkusen (Germany).Pot 3: Basel (Switzerland), Tottenham (England), Dynamo Kiev (Ukraine), Lyon (France), PSV Eindhoven (Netherlands), Sporting Lisbon (Portugal), Bruges (Belgium), Borussia Moenchengladbach (Germany).Pot 4: Celtic (Scotland), Monaco (France), Besiktas (Turkey), Legia Warsaw (Poland), Dinamo Zagreb (Croatia), Ludogorets Razgrad (Bulgaria), FC Copenhagen (Denmark), Rostov (Russia).Brian Burns Youth Jersey .

For purposes of these official rules (the Official Rules) all times are Eastern Time (ET).6. HOW TO PLAY.a. General. The objective of the Promotion is to correctly select a Winning Pick for one U.S. professional football game each week during the Promotion Period. Each week, an entrant must select one team which he/she believes will be the winner of a scheduled U.S. professional football game being played that week. If, during the first week of the U.S. professional football season, the entrant makes a correct selection (i.e. the team selected does win its game), entrant will be credited with a Winning Pick and will remain in the pool of potential winners. If an entrants pick for that week loses its game, or entrant fails to make a valid selection for a given week, entrant will be credited with a Losing Pick and will no longer be eligible for a prize unless all remaining entrants make Losing Picks in the same week. Entrants will not be able to select any team more than once throughout the Promotion Period. The last remaining eligible entrant, once verified, will be Grand Prize Winner. If more than one entrant goes through the entire U.S. professional football regular season (currently scheduled for seventeen (17) weeks) without making a Losing Pick, or if all remaining entrants make Losing Picks in the same week, a Tiebreaker will be used to determine the Grand Prize Winner and the Second Prize Winner. If there is only one entrant that completes the Promotion without being credited with a Losing Pick AND does not win the Grand Prize because of the Tiebreaker, then that entrant, if eligible, will be the Second Prize Winner. b. Selections. You may enter your selections online by following the instructions in the How to Play section of the game. c. Scoring. You receive one (1) point for each correct winning pick on a valid entry. You do not receive or lose points for incorrect picks. You accumulate points from the date of your first winning pick. You may begin playing after the start of the Promotion but you will not receive any points for the football games you have missed. In the event a scheduled professional football game listed does not occur as scheduled (e.g., a game is cancelled) no points will be awarded. Ties will be broken in accordance with the tie-breaker procedure below.d. Lock-time. The kick-off of the first U.S. professional football game is currently scheduled for 8:30 PM ET on Thursday, September 8, 2016. The kick-off for the last game of the first week of the U.S. professional football season is currently scheduled for 10:20 PM ET on Monday, September 12, 2016. Making a selection before the first game of a given week increases the number of teams available for selection. Entry selections will lock at the scheduled kick-off of each regularly scheduled U.S. professional football game. Entrants must make sure their picks are submitted by the scheduled locktime each week. You will not be able to make selections for games that have already locked. Selections submitted after the deadline are considered invalid, and will not be counted as Winning Picks. Entrants who submit selections after the lock time or do not submit an entry for the week will be credited with a Losing Pick.e. Tie Games. In the event a game should end in a tie after overtime, and is declared a tie by U.S. professional football officials, entrants that had selected teams in the game as their picks for that week in the Promotion will neither be recorded with a Winning Pick or a Losing Pick. All active streaks will continue to the next week.f. Tiebreaker. Entrants participate in the Promotion until an entry outlasts all other entries or the U.S. professional football regular season comes to an end. At the end of the U.S. professional football regular season, if there is more than one eligible entry remaining or if all remaining entries are eliminated in the same week, a tiebreaker will be used to determine the Grand Prize Winner and Second Place Winner.OVERALL TIEBREAKERS: (Entrants will be eliminated at each step, until a winner is determined)Tiebreaker #1 - The entrant who has made the most Winning Picks among the remaining entries will be considered the winner.Tiebreaker #2 - The entrant whose Winning Picks have the largest aggregate total score difference over the course of the season.For example: Week 1: Win 45-14 (31pts) Week 2: Win 31-10 (21) Week 3: Win 17-14 (3) The aggregate total would be 31+21+3 = 55 points. Tiebreaker #3 - The entrant whose date of entry creation was recorded in the system the earliest. Tiebreaker #4 - Random drawing of all remaining entries.7. ENTRY. There is no entry fee required to participate in the Promotion. ONE (1) ENTRY PER PERSON PER UNIQUE ESPN.COM USER ACCOUNT (REGARDLESS OF THE NUMBER OF EMAIL ADDRESSES OR REGISTERED MEMBER ACCOUNTS).
