=CCV & CLV=


 * CLV (CONCACAF League Value) of a league is the sum of the current CCV values of all of the teams in that league.
 * CLV determines the league ranking for CFU leagues in the Champions League.
 * CCV determines the seeding for the knockout stage in the Champions League.
 * CCV takes into account games played in the Champions League, regional championships, and the Campeones Cup.
 * CCV only takes into account the last 4 seasons. A season is defined by starting with the regional tournament or Campeones Cup and ending with the following Champions League. A new season replaces the oldest season in the total only after the season is completed. Example: If the Campeones Cup is in the summer, the regional tournament is in the summer or Fall, and the Champions League is the following spring the CCV values for the 2022-23 season replace the values for the 2018-19 season after the conclusion of the 2023 Champions League.
 * Calculations:
 * Every game played is 1 point.
 * Reaching the quarter-, semi-, and finals are each an additional 1 point.
 * Winning the tournament is an additional 1 point.
 * Winning 3rd place is an additional 0.5 points.
 * Teams with byes receive 75% of the points they would've earned up to their entry point had they started the tournament at the earliest stage.
 * Regional tournaments and Campeones Cup points are halved before adding to a club’s CCV.
