Tournament Format
Of the eight teams playing, the top five will qualify for Phase 5. The team with the most points will go directly to the final. The other four remaining teams will play a playoff among themselves: 2nd vs. 5th and 3rd vs. 4th from the previous stage. The winners will face each other in another match and the winner will secure a spot in the final. The champion will participate in the Liga 1 of 2022, while the runner-up will play in Liga 2.
