Draw procedure

COSAFA described the procedure thus:

Draw commences for GROUP ROUND with 4 seeded teams (TZ; NAM; ZIM; LES) being placed in 1 bowl and the remaining 4 teams in the second bowl
First ball out of seeded bowl becomes the seed for Group A and second ball is seeded in Group B, similarly with the remaining 2 balls in the seeded bowl
We continue by drawing balls out to populate positions A3, A4 & B3, B4
Fixtures are populated electronically as each ball is drawn
MC talks through the Group Round results whilst the Draw Master prepares the balls for the Quarter-Final Draw
We now have 6 new teams plus 2 teams which read "Winner Group A" and "Winner Group B"
The 4 seeded QF teams go into bowl 1 and the unseeded teams incl the Group round winners go into bowl 2
The fixtures for QF are established by drawing from bowl 1 (GHANA; SA; ZAM; MOZ) followed by bowl 2 (unseeded teams) until all 4 fixtures are populated

The draw took place on 26 February 2015 and was televised by South Africa's SuperSport 4.
