Changes

From Clausura 2009 to the new format there were many changes, the 3 group format was dropped in favor of 1 single table with the top 7 teams advancing to the playoffs, the top team over all to the semifinals and the next 6 teams to the quarterfinals.

The number of teams decreased from 27 to 17 teams
