QUALIFIED CLUBS FOR THE 2022 SCOTIABANK CONCACAF LEAGUE
Qualified clubs for the 2022 SCL
The draw for the 2022 Scotiabank Concacaf League is set for June 8th and Concacaf has now unveiled the slot allocation ranking for positioning in the Scotiabank Concacaf League (SCL) draw. The allocation ranking has determined the seeding of clubs for the upcoming edition of the SCL.
Clubs qualify for the Scotiabank Concacaf League based on criteria set by the respective Member Associations (i.e. tournament champion, runner-up, Cup champion, etc.). The specific method of qualification for each club results in an assigned slot to each qualified club (i.e. CRC 2, CRC 3, etc.), which is used as the basis for the draw’s seeding.
The system does not rank individual clubs. It is based on the on-field performance of the various clubs of the same Member Association that have occupied those respective qualifying slots.
For example, each year Nicaragua qualifies two clubs to the Scotiabank Concacaf League. Per the competition regulations, the 2021 Apertura or 2022 Clausura champion with the most accumulated points in the 2021-22 season will be assigned slot NCA1. The total points awarded to NCA1 (shown in the table below) are not those obtained by a single Nicaraguan club in previous appearances, but rather those obtained by the last five Nicaraguan clubs that qualified as NCA1
To determine the total points awarded to a Member Association’s slot(s) (i.e. NCA1) in any single edition of the Scotiabank Concacaf League, Concacaf utilizes the following formula:
|
total points |
= |
3 points per win |
+ |
1 point per tie |
+ |
2 points for participating in the SCL |
+ |
0.5 point per stage advanced |
+ |
1 point for winning the competition |
For the upcoming draw, 22 participating teams have been distributed in the Pots as follows:
