Notes

Competition format

[edit]

The competition was initially announced by the CFU to be structures similarly to the previous year, during which several team played two-legged playoffs and other seed teams received byes in the later knockout rounds.[1] However, the format was changed at the 2010 CFU Congress, where it was decided that three rounds of group stages would be used.[4] Also, Haiti, who had not initially entered any clubs into the tournament, added Racing Gonaïves and Tempête. Elite SC from Cayman Islands were also later added.[5] However, Elite SC and Bath Estate later withdrew from the tournament, and Guyana Defence Force were moved to Group D due to travel and immigration difficulties.[2][3] Those changes reduced Group B to two teams, both of which qualify to the second round.[2]

Second round

[edit]

In the second round, only the group winners advance to the final round.

After the completion of the first round, the following changes to the second round have been made:

  • Alpha United traded places with Leo Victor, allowing the matches to be staged as schedule by avoiding travel delays due to U.S. restrictions for the Guyanese club.[6]
  • The matches in Group E and Group F were postponed due to delays by Haitian clubs Tempete FC and Racing Gonaives in obtaining U.S. visas to travel to Puerto Rico.[7]
  • The matches in Group G and Group H were postponed due to stadium availability and were scheduled to begin a day later than previously announced.[8]
  • Leo Victor withdrew from Group E for financial reasons, and Tempête was forced to withdraw from Group F following difficulties in obtaining visas to Puerto Rico.[9] Therefore both Group E and F would be played as two-team groups.
