Rule changes for PCL38
2 Mar 2018 11:00- In the future, the PCL tournament will start after Week 9 of the regular HT season (a week later than now).
- Teams still playing in their national cups at the time of their group matches will lose 0-5 by walkover (as it has always been - until this season).
- Teams simultaneously playing in the Club World Cup (if it still exists next year anyway) will be allowed to challenge their opponents in Single-match challenge (this will not be necessary in the group stage though, as the CWC starts a bit later).
- In the rare cases when a team has to play at another team's stadium but has no other option than sending a single-challenge (thus "stealing" the home advantage), -2 goals will be deducted from his score in compensation.
