The final round of the first phase saw 48 winners of the previous round (23 from the Metropolitan zone and 25 from the Interior zone) in a single elimination producing 24 teams that enter the second phase.

The Second Phase began with a classification round where the 16 non-champion teams of the B Nacional determined the 8 teams to move forward.
