The top four teams from each phase qualified for the final phase. If a team placed among the top four in both phases, then the team with the highest accumulated points across the two phases, excluding the already qualified teams, would also qualify for the final phase.http://www.rsssf.com/tablesp/para92.html Paraguay 1992 RSSSF Josef Bobrowsky and Julio Diogo English February 9, 2014 Depending on their final position in each of the first two phases, teams received bonus points: 1 point for first place, 0.75 points for second place, 0.5 points for third place, and 0.25 points for fourth place. These bonus points were added to the team's total for the final phase. However, if a team qualified based on the highest accumulated points across the two phases (i.e., if it was among the top four in each phase), it would not receive any bonus points. The final phase consisted of two stages: the first was a group stage with 4 teams, each playing in a single round-robin format. The top two teams from each group advanced to the second stage, which included semifinals and a final, each played over two legs. The team that scored the most goals across both legs won the tie. If both teams scored the same number of goals, a decisive playoff match would be played. The winner of the final was crowned the 1992 Champion.

Since Olimpia finished in the top 4 positions in both phases, the eighth spot was taken by the highest-ranked team in the accumulated points table, outside of the already qualified teams, Presidente Hayes. The contenders were awarded bonus points based on their position in the previous phases, with the bonus points from each phase being added up. The first, second, third, and fourth teams received 1, 0.75, 0.5, and 0.25 additional points respectively. Presidente Hayes did not receive any bonus points because they did not finish in the top 4 in any phase. In the first stage, the 8 teams were divided into two groups, where they played a round-robin tournament. The top two teams from each group advanced to the semifinals, where a team would win their tie by scoring more goals. If there was a tie in this regard, an additional tiebreaker match would be played to determine the winner.
