    Due to the excess of ice on the roads that connect the south of Chile, São Paulo FAD team was not able to arrive in time for the competition dispute, therefore the dispute form was changed to a triangular one with simple round-robin.

Round-robin

After the non-attendance of São Paulo FAD the tournament was decided in a single round-robin format. The match between Maule Sur and Mapuche, initially valid for one of the semi-finals, started to be considered as the first round of the dispute.[7]
