is it still the 3+1 rule for the ACL?

So it looks like we have two games to qualify..
Feb 12 vs Home United (Singapore) or yet-to-be-determined Indonesian champions
Feb 19 vs one of four Japanese clubs.. In Japan.
Bugger no Away day in Buriram
We got Korea 3
Some no name Malaysian team
And a play off winner which will be either Chinese or Thai team Bangkok Utd
If that thing pans out for Bangkok Utd away though....
Long odds that both of us will get through two play offs each
Looking at the format....1st game will be a home game. If we win that we go to Japan. Am I seeing it right?

Not quite, Japan gets two automatic spots (first in the league and Cup winner) and 2 playoff spots based on league position.
Kashima Antlers finished the season in 3rd (playoff position) but had they won the Emperors Cup the last playoff spot (and our opponent) would have went to the 4th placed team Consodale Sapporo instead (as Kashima would have have got an automatic group spot for winning the cup), however as they were knocked out of this they instead have to qualify via a playoff against us or the Singaporean/Indonesian team.
As either Urawa or Vegalta Sendai will get the automatic group spot for winning the cup and neither finished in the top 3 of the league the 4th placed team misses out all together.

I am in the process of putting together some travel packages for the group stage should we make it. Trying to gauge interest. If anyone is interested please message me with your contact details & advise which games you would be interested in. Currently it will most likely be;
12th March: shandong, china
24th April: Gyeongnan, South Korea
8th May: Johor Darul, Malaysia
If I get some interest, I am hoping to have further details and pricing in the next couple of weeks.
This is obviously dependant on playoff results and actually qualifying.
Indonesia League wrapped up over the weekend, so we will play the winner of Home United (Singapore) and Persija Jakarta (Indonesia).
They play off on Feb 5 and we play the winner on Feb 12 in Newy.
Is this ACL thing still on?
I know it's next week, but there is no ads whatsoever, no news, not even a link to buy tickets... Great marketing here!
not having a clue who we're playing (even after they announce it) won't help crowd figures either (or it being a Tuesday night)...
Life isn't the same without Con... but it can only improve without Tinks...
I didnt get no damn email.
Gypo Middleby obviously ran out of stamps.
The club hates its fans.
Do people realise this adventure could end, Roar style, as quickly as it begins?
One of the prices we paid when Antonis scored that winner v Smurfs last season. Had Sydney won, we would have won the GF in Sydney as underdogs, we would have an ACL group spot and Melbun City would get the playoff spot. Even if we lost the GF we still had an ACL full spot.
I was actually disappointed we got the home grand final in a way.
