2017 Playoffs and 2019 CCL

I can't say Atlanta is the hot team as they have only won 1 of their last 5. They have a shiny loud new stadium, but I need more than one impressive win over a team that came in on a 7-game winless streak to put them up there. Which is not to say they don't worry me at all. Maybe I'm cautiously concerned and potentially even very concerned, but not there yet.
OK crap.

Highest two spots from the combined 2017 and 2018 Supporters' Shield table...

Ok, then what if RBNJ finish runners up in the USOC next year again and SKC get knocked out 1st round?

From my understanding, all double champions and Canadian champions would lead to the highest American MLS team from the combined 2017 and 2018 Supporters' Shield table to get their CCL spot. If SKC wins the USOC next year, it would go the combined table team.

I think you missed the logic in my argument. Why go best in the season for one category and best in two seasons for another? To be fair, take away SKC's spot. Reward the two highest combined finishers in the USOC over a 2 year period, not just the champion in one year. It's the same as what they are doing with the standings.

MLS Cup and US Open Cup are important trophies worth adding value to. If a team does not win a trophy, you want to pick the best team possible to represent the US in CCL. This competition will be played in 2019. Having 2018 factor into the results, makes alot of sense if you want the best possible team in 2019 not the best possible team from 2017.
 
I get confused

Change in an instant
