Colombia 1996/97


The season consists of the following stages:

1) Copa Mustang I: 32 rounds; first round "clasicos regionales", 17th round
   their returns; in between two round robins of 15 rounds each.  Played from
   Sep 8, 1996 to Feb 23, 1997.  The winner of the Copa Mustang I gets 2
   bonus points, runners-up 1, third 0,5, fourth 0,25.  The winner is also
   assured of a place in the Copa Conmebol.

2) Copa Mustang II: 14 rounds, from Feb 26, 1997 to Apr 20, 1997.  The clubs
   are divided into two groups (odd-place finishers of C.M. I and even-place
   finishers, respectively), which each play a double round-robin.  There are
   no bonus points to earn; the results of both C.M.'s are added to obtain
   the Reclasificación (46 rounds); the top-4 of this qualify for the Gran 
   Final.

3) Cuadrangular Final: 6 rounds between the top-4 in the Reclasifición.  All
   clubs start with 0 points except for winner Reclasificación (1 bonus point).

NB: afterwards, it was decided to have another stage, the Torneo Adecuación,
    at the end of the season, to return to the spring/fall rhythm.  The winner
    of the Torneo Adecuación (Bucaramanga) will play the winner of the
    originally planned season (América) for the 1996/97 championship.
