Approved by the board of directors regarding J-League ranking determination method 21:24 on June 23 before the official game restarts
On the weekend, the Soccer J.League approved the board's decision-making method for the season, assuming that the new coronavirus could not be used to complete all the games while refraining from reopening the official game.
The J-League is preparing to resume J2 and the opening of J3 on 27th of this month, and to resume J1 on 4th of next month.
On the 23rd, before the resumption of the official game, the final board meeting was held, and we approved the ranking method of this season, assuming that we could not digest all the games due to the influence of the new coronavirus.
Specifically, when lining up by points, unlike the usual year, the competition results of the clubs will be prioritized over the number of wins and points that increase in proportion to the number of games.
In addition, we decided not to do the video judgment by the referee called VAR = Video Assistant Referee introduced in J1 from this season on the overcrowded schedule because it is difficult to secure the referee after restarting.
In addition, as a measure to prevent infection, the guidelines dictate that each bottle rehydrate with water, but considering that there are voices from the scene that it is difficult to deal with the situation, the game will be completed by the end of September. Means that there will be a "drinking time" once in the first half and once in the second half, and the final adjustment is being made.
On the other hand, the PCR test, which started last weekend to confirm the health of athletes and referees, will be announced on the 24th, including the total number of tests and the number of positives.
