Participants Clausura 2013
This tournament will feature all the clubs from the Liga MX, excluding those that will participate in the 2012-13 CONCACAF Champions League (Santos, Tigres, Monterrey and Guadalajara), and the 3 that will participate in the Copa Libertadores 2013 (León, Tijuana and Toluca) and the best 13 teams from the Ascenso MX, excluding Leones Negros and Pumas Morelos.
Tiebreakers
If two or more clubs are equal on points on completion of the group matches, the following criteria are applied to determine the rankings:
- superior goal difference;
- higher number of goals scored;
- scores of the group matches played among the clubs in question;
- higher number of goals scored away in the group matches played among the clubs in question;
- best position in the Relegation table;
- fair play ranking;
- drawing of lots.
Group Stage
Every group is composed by four clubs, two from Liga MX and two from Ascenso MX. Instead of a traditional robin-round schedule, the clubs will play in three two-legged "rounds", the last one being contested by clubs of the same league.
Each win gives a club 3 points, each draw gives 1 point. An extra point is awarded for every round won; a round is won by aggregated score, and if it is a tie, the extra point will be awarded to the team with higher number of goals scored away.
