Background

From 1931 to 1937 there was a Reserve Tournament that was part of the Campeonato de Selección y Competencia of the Peruvian First Division. The sum of points from this tournament plus that from the Primeros Equipos Tournament gave the title of First Division champion. These tournaments stopped being played because they entered into controversy due to the sum of points. The reserve tournament awarded: 3 points to the winner of a match, 2 to a draw, 1 to a defeat and 0 to the team that did not show up (walk over). The reserve tournament provided a bonus of 0.25 points for each point obtained.
