The new tournament was divided into four stages, as opposed to the usual three. All matches were scheduled to be played on Sundays, but some were moved at the clubs' requests.http://www.ecuafutbol.org/UI/detalle.aspx?seccion=1&categserie=7&nivel=0&subnivel=0&id=12910&tabla=N Federación Ecuadoriana de Futbol, el portal del futbol de ecuadoriano December 13, 2008 website Ecuadorian Football Federation 2008 https://web.archive.org/web/20081206005225/http://www.ecuafutbol.org/UI/detalle.aspx?seccion=1&categserie=7&nivel=0&subnivel=0&id=12910&tabla=N 2008-12-06 dead The First Stage was a double round-robin tournament in which the twelve teams played against each other teams twice: once at home and once away. At the end of the stage, the top-four teams with the most points qualified to the Third Stage; the top three earned bonus points (3, 2, & 1 respectively). The top-two teams also qualified to the 2009 Copa Sudamericana. In the Second Stage, the teams were divided into two groups of six. Groups were formed by draw, but did not have no more than one team from each provincial organization (the exception being Pichincha). The teams played within their groups in a double round-robin tournament and in a local derby (es clásico). The derbies were played on the third and seventh match day of the stage. Group 1 Pichincha team 1 Pichincha team 2 Guayas team 1 Manabí team 1 Tungurahua team 1 Azuay team or Chimborazo team Group 2 Pichincha team 3 Pichincha team 4 Guayas team 2 Manabí team 2 Tungurahua team 2 Azuay team or Chimborazo team Clásicos Pichincha team 1 vs. Pichincha team 3 Pichincha team 2 vs. Pichincha team 4 Guayas team 1 vs. Guayas team 2 Manabí team 1 vs. Manabí team 2 Tungurahua team 1 vs. Tungurahua team 2 Azuay team vs. Chimborazo team At the end of this stage, the two-top teams from each group qualified to the Third Stage; the top team in each group earned one bonus point for the Third Stage. The two teams with the fewest points in the First and Second Stage aggregate table were relegated to the Serie B for the next season. In the Third Stage, the eight qualified teams were placed into two groups of four depending on their position on the aggregate table. Group 1: 1st, 4th, 5th, 8th Group 2: 2nd, 3rd, 6th, 7th The top two teams from each group will advance to the Fourth Stage. The Fourth Stage will consist of two head-to-head match-ups: one by the top-finisher of each group in the Third Stage, and the other by the runners-up. The match between the top finishers in the Third Stage will determine the national champion; the other will determine who finished third and fourth. The national champion, runner-up, and third-place finisher will each have a berth in the 2010 Copa Libertadores. The Ecuador 1 berth will go to the national champion, Ecuador 2 will go to the runner-up, and Ecuador 3 to the third-place finisher. Teams Twelve teams competed in the 2009 Serie A season, ten of whom remained from the 2008 season. Deportivo Azogues and Universidad Católica were relegated last season to the Serie B after accumulating the fewest points in the First and Second Stage aggregate table. They were replaced by Manta and LDU Portoviejo, the 2008 Serie B winner and runner-up, respectively. This was Manta's second spell and second season in the Serie A, having previously played in the 2003 season. LDU Portoviejo were playing in their 22nd season in the league. Their last appearance was in 2001.
