Format

The teams play a double round robin. After that the four best teams advance to the semi-finals. After participation in the late 2000s has declined to around 6 clubs, there were some seminars by the Football Organisation as how to increase participation. In 2011, 12 teams did enter the championship.[1]

List of champions

In 1997 an experimental tournament was held and won by Nacional. Then, from 1999, the competition was held annually, except for 2001. Universidad Autonoma won 9 times out of 13.[2][3] Since at least 2004 an Apertura and Clausura format was adopted. The winners of those are not considered champions but play a playoff for the championship.
