The new Asian Premier League rules essentially require your league to be cross-year. In fact, Japanese leagues are already preparing for a cross-over system. What should the Chinese Super League do? Based on the current distribution of teams, a year-over-year system for the northern teams would definitely be favorable, but not for the fans. Also, stadium conditions may not really be what can be expected when it comes to a cross-over system.
A long time ago, the Chinese league started in March and didn't end when it snowed, but it seems like there are no more games like that anymore.

There was a game in the Northeast during Tarzan's first double championship that was played entirely in the snow, and you could really see that the field conditions were mediocre, but the game went on and the fans didn't say very much about it. But it's been a long time since I've had a game like that, because basically the league ends around October and then there's no opportunity given for such a game.
Although the league can start in March, basically some teams in the north start on the road and then don't get to play in the snow. This shows that the Chinese league is becoming more and more demanding in terms of venues. Certainly the hardware of the grounds seems to have improved over the past, but it still doesn't do anything to solve some of the problems. European leagues are able to play in the winter either because the grounds have a heating system or because of the use of artificial turf, and of course because of the individual grounds.
Therefore, the venue issue is the biggest trouble of the inter-annual system, bearing in mind that Ateneo's home ground, if it is winter, basically many players can't tolerate the low temperature.
There's also the key point that teams now have player contracts that essentially end on December 31st, with very few ending on June 30th.

Currently the contracts of Super League players basically expire on December 31st. If we were to adopt the inter-annual system, many players would need to change their contracts, and they would all need to be changed until their contracts expire on June 30, either by contract extension or by thinking about reducing their contracts by six months, so that's the key part.
Of course, the FA's previous idea was to push ahead with the inter-annual system as soon as possible, but it didn't say when, which is troublesome. If it is really a tournament system, many players now need to change the expiration time of their contracts, otherwise it will be very troublesome. After all, some players may want to leave the team a long time ago, but change the contract does not want to change, can leave the team early. Foreign aid is basically a contract that expires on December 31st, no surprises there.
This is the key. One problem, if the inter-annual system does start, is that the FA's various national team training will not be able to be implemented. The reason is simple. Under this system, many players would essentially only be able to come back on national team match days. If they train, some players might not get any games for a season and a half.
In this case, there must be a winter break, which will not be very short. In addition, under normal circumstances, the league starts in August and ends in May, which is not conducive to the long-term training of national team players. After all, according to the current system, some matches, such as the Asian Super League, are also played in the middle.
So New Year's Eve games, depending on the situation, are really hard to implement in the Premier League. The venue issue is also troublesome, as are the contracts of many players. If the national team wants to train for a long time, it's best not to use the New Year's Eve tournament system.
