Format

After 1994, the competition was divided in two stages, called the Opening Championship (Torneo Apertura) and Closing Championship (Torneo Clausura), with a two-legged play-off between the best 10 teams in the aggregate table, not counting the champion and the runner-up which they are promoted directly.
