Instead of having their slots taken away completely, Member Associations (MAs) who do not meet the criteria of participating in the ACL, will be handed points deduction instead.
A minimum number of 600 points out of a possible 1000 is, however, required for the MAs to qualify for participation.
And further news from Chinese based sites show S-league will be placed 8th thus occupying the last slot for the ACL playof.
Still it will be a tough job to get into the ACL group phrase as it may well be seeded so the S-league champion will be handed a tie against either a Chinese Super League, A-league or, best situation of difficult games, a Thai Premier League side.
Here is the table according to the Chinese media where the AFC Conference decided, before any checks, the East Asian slots.
