The 16th round of league matches had to face the embarrassing situation of five matches being postponed. Most of the matches of the 17th round, originally scheduled to be staged on September 9 and 10, are also in the quagmire of postponement due to similar reasons, sources revealed. The organizers recently gave urgent notice that key cities such as Dalian, Chengdu and Changchun, as well as the alternative third-party venue of Haikou, have all suspended their events for some reason, making the next schedule extremely tricky, and the organizers had to make real-time adjustments to the schedule.

The team will face Zhejiang on September 6 in Rizhao, but only four games in this round can be completed as planned, two of which have even been advanced to August 12th. As for the postponement arrangement of the remaining 5 matches, there is no definite news yet.
The 17th round of the tournament, which was originally scheduled to be held on September 9 and 10, has now been postponed by some clubs who have received verbal notification of the postponement of the game. For example, the Shenzhen team has been told that the originally planned match against Shandong Taishan team is likely to be postponed.
According to the Beijing Youth Daily reporter on the 5th, Dalian, Chengdu and Changchun will not be able to host the event in the short term because of the epidemic

races, the same risk exists in other race cities. The organizers plan to announce the adjusted schedule on the evening of September 5, but most of the matches could still be postponed. The matches scheduled for Tarzan vs SZF, Seaport vs Guangzhou City, Rongcheng vs Songshan Longmen, Yatai vs Changjiang, and Dalianren vs Guoan are all at risk of postponement because of the recent epidemic situation in these regional cities, and the consequent adjustments to the anti-epidemic policy.
Whether or not the remaining matches can be successfully conducted will depend on the epidemic situation and anti-epidemic policies in the respective regions. For example, some teams have stayed in infected areas and may face quarantine if they travel to other cities to compete, and these uncertainties may affect the competition.
It is worth mentioning that Tianjin Jinmen Tigers, Shenzhen and Cangzhou Lions have yet to finalize their home venues, and the two Shanghai teams have not been able to play as off-site home venues in Dalian recently, which has posed a huge challenge to the running of the subsequent schedule. The organizers have contacted the Haikou Region as an alternative, but given the uncertainty of the epidemic and anti-epidemic policies, the timing of the resumption of the tournament in Haikou is still unclear.
In order to cope with the unexpected situation, the organizers reserved two bye days at the end of September and planned to arrange the race during the National Day holiday to meet the demand for bye days. However, due to the severe epidemic prevention and control situation, the schedule was full of variables, and the organizers could only respond flexibly.
