Usage
editDuring season
editDuring the season, teams may qualify for the 2016–17 CONCACAF Champions League prior to the end of the season. In that case, set |status_XXX=Q and |note_XXX= to the method by which the team qualified, e.g. |note_CHI=Won the 2015 Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup, and set |resultX=CCL for that team, ensuring that X is always kept equal to |teamX= for that team.
After season complete
editSet |result1=SS and |resultX=CCL for the teams which qualified for the Champions League and clear |status_XXX= for all teams. Ensure that if the Supporters Shield winner is a US team, then |col_SS=green1, |col_CCL=green 2, and |text_SS=[[Supporters Shield]] and [[2016–17 CONCACAF Champions League]].
