Liga MX: Mazatlán FC, FC Juárez and Tijuana could tie in the Quotient: How would the payment of fines be defined?

The last day of the Closing 2024 in its Regular Phase of the Liga MX where the 10 guests to the Final Phase will be known, both for the Direct Liguilla and the Play-In. But the order of payment for fines is also defined by the Quotient Table where Mazatlán FC, FC Juárez and Tijuana They have a lot to do with it.

Last week everything seemed to be defined, but now there is the possibility that there is a triple tie and that the aforementioned teams finish with an average of 1.0000, which has already generated some doubts in the fans about how the payment of the contributions would be organized. fines.

It must be remembered that the Liga MX since the Apertura 2020 Promotion and Relegation was eliminated, so new measures were imposed to “punish” the teams that finished at the bottom of the Quotient Table and were to designate fines for the last ones. 3 positions in this table ranging from 33 million pesos, 47 million pesos and the highest of 80 million pesos for last place.

In the absence of a match for these three teams, there is a possibility that all 3 will complete their average with 1.0000 which would leave the question of how they would adapt, and that has already been explained by Liga MX and it would be through the number of goals that each of the teams scored and allowed in the last 6 tournaments.

The tie-breaking criterion will be the difference in goals scored and received (but only the same number of tournaments registered by the club with fewer campaigns will count, remembering that when a team pays a fine its numbers start from zero, therefore the
later data and the other clubs must also use the numbers from that period.

The previously explained limitation would only apply if FC Juárez ends up tied with one or two clubs since the border team a few seasons ago paid a fine as last place and its count began from Apertura 2022.

• (17) FC Juárez – 67 points | 67 matches | % 1.0000
