They changed the CL format last year- added more teams, and gave 6 teams (finalists, losing semi finalists, 2best losing QFinalists) berths in the CCL.

Basically, they removed all the Central American leagues automatic berths to CCL and put them through CL. Expanded competition with more teams with a shot at winning the trophy before getting a chance in CCL
