The rule specifies that each team must have at least 1000 minutes on the field among minor footballers, with the percentages divided as follows: Category 2001 20%, Category 2002 40%, Category 2003 60%, Category 2004 80% and the 2005 Category 100% of this count.
The teams that stand out the most in this area are Pachuca, which for this tournament and for at least two past seasons, has opted to play with its quarry, which is considered one of the best in Mexico, the reality is that it does not They have done very well and today they are in position number 15 in the championship with only 9 points obtained.
