The South American Access Championship (Spanish: Campeonato Sudamericano de Ascenso, Portuguese: Campeonato Sulamericano de Acesso), was a tournament between national teams from South America that were formed only by athletes who did not disputed their national top league level.[1][2]
In 1994, thirty years after the second edition, a third edition of the Sudamericano de Ascenso was held in Paraguay and won by the local team.[3] Brazil is the most successful team with 2 titles.[2]
The championship was played under a single round-robin format, with all its matches played at night. Rules stated that in case of two teams finished tied on points at the end of the championship, they had to play a playoff match with extra time if necessary. In case the tie persisted, both teams would be crowned champions sharing the title.[1]
