There would be no groups this season. Instead, for both tournaments, the clubs would play every other club twice, once at home and once away, for a total of 20 matches each. At the end of the regular season, the top 4 teams in the league standings would participate in the playoffs. At the end of the season, the last place club would participate in a promotion-relegation playoff against the Segunda División overall runners-up, while the Segunda División overall champions would be promoted to next season's competition automatically.Molina Salas José Pablo Asamblea de Unafut acordó cambios en el formato de los próximos torneos http://unafut.com/site/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=1244:asamblea-de-unafut-acordo-cambios-en-el-formato-de-los-proximos-torneos&catid=6:noticias&Itemid=40 UNAFUT 28 June 2011 https://web.archive.org/web/20111006234758/http://unafut.com/site/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=1244:asamblea-de-unafut-acordo-cambios-en-el-formato-de-los-proximos-torneos&catid=6:noticias&Itemid=40 6 October 2011 dead Average attendance Saprissa 14,990 Alajuelense 9,720 Herediano 4,064 Limón 3,220 Cartaginés 3,090 Santos de Guápiles 2,058 San Carlos 2,109 Puntarenas 2,027 Pérez Zeledón 1,119 Belén 1,117 Orión 544 Team information Team Manager City Stadium Capacity LD Alajuelense CRC Oscar "El Machillo" Ramírez Alajuela Alejandro Morera Soto 17,895 Belén Siglo XXI CRC Vinicio Alvarado Belén Estadio Polideportivo de Belén 3,000 C.S.
