Race organizers slow to reveal
China Super League (soccer league)
A key factor in the league's schedule and specific matchups stems from the predicament facing Chongqing's Two Rivers Athletic Salon. Although rumors of the Salon's imminent dissolution have been circulating for a long time, the CFA and CFL preparatory team were unable to break the original competition schedule until solid information was released. In order to cope with possible accidents or extreme situations, they still need to develop more coping strategies.
Until the official results were announced on the 24th, the tournament organizers had to make changes to the original

The competition program was adjusted. In other words, after the withdrawal of Chongqing Liangjiang Athletic, whether to add a team to promote to the Chinese Super League in order to maintain the size of the 18-team competition has become a question that the organizers must make a careful decision.
It is reported that before this, the tournament organizers had considered not to supplement, that is, according to the Chongqing team established rounds of competition to "0-3 loss" calculation results. This is because the entry and qualification process for all levels of professional leagues has now been completed. With less than two weeks to go before the start of the season, adding teams to the Super League on an ad hoc basis would involve very complex issues. For example, teams in different levels of leagues will need to implement pre-season staff reserves in accordance with the rules of their respective leagues. While the foreign aid policies of the Chinese Super League and the Chinese League A are different, the Chinese League B is currently not allowed to have foreign aid on the field.
It should be noted that if it is confirmed that the team will not be supplemented, then the new season

The league will have only 17 teams competing. Despite the fact that Chongqing has lost all of its scheduled matches, the fact that there is a 1-team turnover in each round of the tournament may have some impact on fair play. For example, if the last round of the tournament happens to involve a team in the race for the championship and a place in the Asian Champions League, it could have an impact on fair play,

and other key games, then it becomes questionable whether the teams with whom they have games will benefit from it.
If additional teams are confirmed, the tournament organizers will need to make complex adjustments. For example, if the Dalian People can be substituted into the Super League, will they, as the host team of the tournament, stay in Dalian to participate in the

Competition? At present, the salons of the Chinese Super League and the Chinese First League have made preparations to move into the established competition areas according to the notice of the organizers. Some teams have also had to move into the competition area earlier due to the impact of the epidemic. Therefore, after the adjustment of individual participating teams and grouping results, the teams concerned will also face other collateral problems.
It is reported that after the closing of Chongqing Liangjiang Athletic Team, the CFA is likely to open a temporary transfer window for the team's players. If the "replacement program" is passed, then the replacement team also has the possibility of additional reinforcements as needed.
From an objective point of view, both points of view have a certain degree of rationality. As of noon on May 24, the race organizers have not yet made a final choice on "replacement or not".
