This pattern is repeating itself since at least a decade and shows in my opinion that the gap between JFL and RLs has become too wide. I just hope that the JFA is utilizing the transition to fall-spring to clean up their structures a little bit. *cough* e.g. JFL 2 with three divisions *cough*

#JFL, remaining schedules for teams involved in promotion and relegation (playoff) races.

If eligible to promote, P1 goes to #J3League directly, P2 plays a playoff against J3 P20.

P16 relegates to Regional League directly, P15 plays a one-legged playoff against P2 of #ChiikiCL Final Four.

While we are at it, have you already heard anything by chance about how the leagues below the J would like to handle the transition to fall-spring? For example, the JFL has been eerily quite on their website about the subject, at least until now... 🤔

The latter is increasingly unlikely though – ReinMeer face a seven-point deficit on Honda (P2) and are nine points back on league leaders Reilac Shiga with four matches to go.

Iwate Grulla Morioka would also fit these criteria if they would return to J3, right?

Perhaps an afterthought of the one earlier today?
