Main article: 2010–11 CONCACAF Champions League

The championship round draw was conducted on November 1, 2010, at the CONCACAF headquarters in New York City.[1] In the quarterfinals, the group winners were assured of playing the second leg at home, and were drawn against the group runners-up, with the only restriction being that they could not face the same team that it played in the Group Stage (and thus they may face a team from the same association).

The championship round was played in knockout format. Each tie was played over two legs, and the away goals rule would be used, but not after a tie enters extra time, and so a tie would be decided by penalty shootout if the aggregate score is level after extra time.[2]

gollark: I would really prefer to be using some sort of open federated messaging service, but that would be more annoying for people to use I guess.
gollark: Curse Discord and being required by the ToS to only use their kind of awful clients!
gollark: Ugh, I just realised that Discord appears to have made the search mildly worse in the recent UI update.
gollark: Apparently, yes.
gollark: Nuclear waste is probably a problem, but less than climate change and the giant piles of spent lithium-ion batteries which would probably result from using batteries/solar.
