How is the Cup played?
It is a tournament by series (first by groups, and later with heads-up keys) that will be played during the week (from Tuesday to Thursday), but it will not be continuous. That is to say, they will not be played every week, but will have space from time to time.
What will the Cup champion win?
The Cup champion will qualify as Bolivia 4 to the Copa Libertadores next year. Whoever is crowned the best in the Bolivian Cup must play from Phase 1 of the international tournament. The runner-up remains with the Bolivia 1 quota for South America.
How are the groups distributed and who qualifies for the quarterfinals?
The series championship was divided into three groups, in the group of six the first three will qualify, and in the group of five only two:
– Group A (Three classify):
Bolívar, Oriente Petrolero, Royal Pari, Wilstermann, Real Tomayapo and Libertad Gran Mamoré.
– Group B (Two classify):
The Strongest, Guabirá, Palmaflor, Aurora and Real Santa Cruz
– Group C (Three classify):
Always Ready, Nacional Potosí, Blooming, Independiente, FC Universitario and Vaca Diez.
Does the Cup affect the average for relegation and the prizes for Libertadores and Sudamericana?
Yes. The relegations and the remaining prizes of the Copa Libertadores (Bolivia 2, 3, and 4) and the three other prizes of Sudamericana, will be decided with the points obtained from the League, added to those of the Group Phase of the Cup. That sum will produce a table of averages. From there will come the rewarded and punished.
