The tournament was played before the start of the Peruvian Primera División and had no influence on the tournament.[2] These matches are neither considered official nor friendly since they were closer to an exhibition format than to a real competition for points.[3][4]
In most editions, the tournament was developed in quadrangles where the four best-placed teams in the final standings of each Peruvian Primera División of the previous year participated.
