Club Ranking
2023 Scotiabank Concacaf Champions League
How the club ranking is calculated
The Scotiabank Concacaf Champions League Club Ranking is based on the on-field performance of the various clubs of the same country that have occupied a qualifying slot in the previous five editions of the competition. The ranking does not rank individual clubs.
Calculating formula
To determine the total points awarded to a countries slot(s) (i.e., MEX 1) in any single edition of the competition, Concacaf utilizes the following formula:
|
Total points |
= |
3 points per win |
+ |
1 point per tie |
+ |
1 Point per stage advanced |
+ |
4 Points for Participating |
+ |
2 points for winning the competition |
