Relegation
Relegation was determined by an average of the points obtained in the First Stages of the past six tournaments (three seasons). For the purposes of completing the relegation table, the 2007 and 2008 numbers of the 2008 Primera B champion (Real Cartagena) will be the same as the team that finished 16th in this relegation table.
Relegation/promotion playoff
By finishing 17th in the relegation table, Deportivo Pereira played a playoff against the 2009 Primera B runner-up Atlético Bucaramanga. The team that accumulated the most points over two legs will play in the Primera A for the 2010 season. If there is a tie in points, goal difference would be taken into account, followed by a penalty shootout. Atlético Bucaramanga host the first leg.
Aggregate table
The aggregate table is the sum of all points and results throughout the entire season, including Cuadrangulares and Finals. This table determined the remaining berths for the Copa Libertadores and Copa Sudamericana
