## Torneo Apertura 2007

### Tournament Format

**Promotion**

One team is promoted to the Primera División each year (two short tournaments). After the Clausura 2008 tournament, the champions of the Apertura 2007 and Clausura 2008 tournaments will play a home and home series to determine which team will be promoted. If the same team wins both tournaments it will be promoted automatically. In order for a team to be promoted it has to obtain a certification from the Federación Mexicana de Fútbol Asociación. If the winner of the promotional final is not certified for promotion a home and home series is played between the highest placed certified team and the club being relegated to the Primera División A to determine which will be in the Primera División.

**Relegation**

One team is relegated to the Segunda División each year (two short tournaments). The team that has the worst points to games played ratio over the previous three years (Apertura 2005, Clausura 2006, Apertura 2006, Clausura 2007, Apertura 2007, Clausura 2008) is relegated to the Segunda División.
