## Torneo Clausura

In the final part of the Clausura 2009 tournament, the regular season and the start of the playoffs were affected by the 2009 swine flu pandemic, so some games were canceled and the coefficient of points/games played had to be used to determine the final positions of the classification table. In addition, some games were played behind closed doors, however, the season could end in the usual way.
