The Copa MX Apertura 2012 is the 69th staging of the Copa MX, the 42st staging in the professional era and the second tournament since the new revamp as Copa MX.
This tournament will begin on XXXXX, 2013 and concluded on XXXXX, 2013.[3]
Every group is composed by four clubs, two from Liga MX and two from Ascenso MX. Instead of a traditional robin-round schedule, the clubs will play in three two-legged "rounds", the last one been contested by clubs of the same league.[3]
Each win gives a club 3 points, each draw gives 1 point. An extra point is awarded for every round won; a round is won by aggregated score, and if it is a tie, the tiebreakers should be used.[4]
