See main article: 2011–12 CONCACAF Champions League.
The 2011–12 CONCACAF Champions League championship round was played from March to April 2012. A total of eight teams qualified for the championship round: the four group winners and the four group runners-up from the group stage.
The draw for the championship round was held on November 8, 2011, at the CONCACAF headquarters in New York City.[1] In the quarter-finals, the group winners were assured of playing the second leg at home, and were drawn against the group runners-up, with the only restriction being that they could not face the same team that they played in the group stage (and thus they could face a team from the same association).[2]
The championship round was played in knockout format. Each tie was played over two legs, and the away goals rule was used, but not after a tie entered extra time; a penalty shoot-out was thus used if the aggregate score was level after extra time.[2]
