fmobande Posted August 22, 2009 Share Posted August 22, 2009 The Primera División (First Division) is the highest level of Mexican football and consists of 18 clubs divided into three groups of six clubs each. Each calendar year is split into two short tournaments, the Apertura (Opening) and the Clausura (Closing). Each short tournament a club plays the other 17 clubs once, where the home team is switched depending on which short tournament is currently being played. A new champion is crowned for each short tournament through a playoff system consisting of eight teams. The top two clubs in each group qualify directly to the Liguilla (playoffs), as well as the next two highest highest placed clubs, regardless of group. The clubs are arranged before each round so that the highest seeded team remaining always plays the lowest seed remaining. The clubs play a home and home series and whichever club has the better aggregate score advances. If the two clubs are tied after both legs in the quarterfinals and semifinals, the higher seed advances automatically. In the finals, if the two clubs are tied after both legs two 15 minute halves of extra time are added. If the clubs are still tied after extra time the champion is determined by "Kicks From the Penalty Mark" (FIFA LOTG - Procedures to Determine The Winner of A Match) . One club is relegated to the Primera División A each year (two short tournaments). To determine the club to be relegated, the ratio of points to games is kept for each team. The club that has the worst points to games ratio over the previous three years (six short tournaments) is relegated to the Primera División A.

Ackter Posted August 22, 2009 Share Posted August 22, 2009 Should be a rules/info page on the league and cup screens that give you a lot of data for each competition. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
dafuge Posted August 22, 2009 Share Posted August 22, 2009 I know there's a lot to wade through but this thread has got people's experiences of managing in Mexico in FM (along with other South American countries). If you look out for the posts by 'DodgeeD', he goes into a fair bit of detail about his lengthy career in Mexico. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
