The organizing committee of the tournament is considering countermeasures, including changing the venue and schedule, as it may be difficult to hold a match depending on the future course of the large and furious Typhoon No. 19.
If it is not possible to hold the first league match according to the rules of the tournament, “It will be treated as a draw for both teams without postponement”, and if the venue or schedule is changed, it will be an exception.
