The tournament will feature 15 [[professional wrestling matches]] under [[single-elimination tournament]] rules, which means that wrestlers would be eliminated from the tournament when they lose a match. All male "non-regional" CMLL champions at the time of the tournament are eligible to participate in the tournament. The [[CMLL World Mini-Estrella Championship]] and [[Mexican National Lightweight Championship]] are both exclusively for CMLL's ''[[Mini-Estrella]]'' division and thus not eligible for the tournament. Regionally promoted championships such as the [[CMLL Arena Coliseo Tag Team Championship]] and the Occidente championships promoted in [[Guadalajara]], [[Jalisco]] have not been included in the tournament in the past; only titles that have been defended in CMLL's main venue [[Arena Mexico]] were included, although exceptions have been made to allow [[New Japan Pro-Wrestling]] (NJPW) champions to compete if they were in Mexico at the time. At the time of the tournament being announced [[CMLL World Welterweight Championship|CMLL World Welterweight Champion]] [[Máscara Dorada]] was working full-time for NJPW, which meant he would not participate in the tournament. |
