2013 Torneo Descentralizado

Competition modus

The season is divided into 3 stages. In the first stage 16 teams play a round-robin home-and-away round for a total of 30 matches each. In the second stage the 16 teams are divided into 2 groups. In addition, the team ranked first at the end of the first stage is eligible to play the 2014 Copa Libertadores as Peru 3. Each team carry their records from the first stage into the second stage. Both groups play another round-robin home-and-away round for 14 matches. Bonus points are awarded to two teams based on the performance of their reserve teams in the 2013 Torneo de Promoción y Reserva before the first match of the second stage. The teams ranked first in each group at the end of the 14 matches advance to the third stage. The two teams with the worst least points at the end of the second stage are relegated. In the third stage the championship is contested in a two-legged Play-off. The Play-off finalists qualify for the Copa Libertadores. The remaining international competition berths are determined by the season aggregate table.
