Competition modus

The national championship was divided into two and half-year tournaments, the Torneo Apertura and the Torneo Clausura. Each was played on a home-and-away round-robin basis. The winners of each would play for the national title in a playoff, but a team had to finish in the top 4 in both tournaments to earn the right to play the final. If the same club had won both tournaments, it would have won the national championship automatically.

Following-season Copa Libertadores berths went to each half-year tournament winner, and the best-placed team in the aggregate table. The two bottom teams on the aggregate table were relegated, but a playoff had to be played between the 10th- and 11th-placed teams since both obtained the same number of points (goal difference did not count as a tie-breaker).

Torneo Sub-20

Alongside the Torneo Descentralizado, an Under-20 Tournament was held, featuring U-20 players from top-flight clubs. Unlike the reserve team competitions played between 1931 and 1934, this tournament did not award any bonus points to the senior teams’ league standings.[4][5]

The tournament was played from February through December 8 and followed a two-round format (Apertura and Clausura).
