China League One (China) - the second tier of the Chinese men’s professional league system, run under the Chinese Football Association and operated by the Chinese Professional Football League. Regulations: the competition is typically played by 16 clubs in a double round-robin home and away format, with 3 points for a win, 1 for a draw and 0 for a loss. If teams are level on points, the ranking is decided first by head to head points, then head to head goal difference and head to head goals scored, followed by overall goal difference and overall goals scored, and after the season disciplinary points and, if needed, a drawing of lots can be used. The top two clubs are promoted to the Chinese Super League, while the lowest placed clubs are relegated to China League Two, with licensing and eligibility decisions able to affect the final turnover.
