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. [3]
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.[3]
