Información Histórica
Colombia 1996/97
The season consists of the following stages:
1) Copa Mustang I: 32 rounds; first round 'clasicos regionales', 17th round
their returns; in between two round robins of 15 rounds each. Played from
Sep 8, 1996 to Feb 23, 1997. The winner of the Copa Mustang I gets 2
bonus points, runners-up 1, third 0,5, fourth 0,25. The winner is also
assured of a place in the Copa Conmebol.
2) Copa Mustang II: 14 rounds, from Feb 26, 1997 to Apr 20, 1997. The clubs
are divided into two groups (odd-place finishers of C.M. I and even-place
finishers, respectively), which each play a double round-robin. There are
no bonus points to earn; the results of both C.M.'s are added to obtain
the Reclasificación (46 rounds); the top-4 of this qualify for the Gran
Final.
3) Cuadrangular Final: 6 rounds between the top-4 in the Reclasifición. All
clubs start with 0 points except for winner Reclasificación (1 bonus point).
NB: afterwards, it was decided to have another stage, the Torneo Adecuación,
at the end of the season, to return to the spring/fall rhythm. The winner
of the Torneo Adecuación (Bucaramanga) will play the winner of the
originally planned season (América) for the 1996/97 championship.
