# 2014 Categoría Primera B season

The 2014 Categoría Primera B season is the 25th season since its founding and is officially called the 2014 Torneo Postobón for sponsorship reasons.

## Format

The season consisted of two tournaments: the 'Torneo Apertura' and the 'Torneo Finalización'. The Apertura tournament will be divided into three stages. The First Stage will be contested on a home-and-away basis, with each team playing the other teams once and playing a regional rival once more. The top eight teams after eighteen rounds will advance to a knockout round, where they will be pitted into four ties to be played on a home-and-away basis, with the four winners advancing to the semifinals and the winner of each semifinal advancing to the final of the tournament, which will be played on a home-and-away basis as well. The winner of this final qualifies for the season final. Meanwhile, the Finalizacion tournament will have a format of eighteen rounds with a round of regional derbies in the ninth round. At the end of the first eighteen rounds, the eight best-placed team will advance to the Semifinal round where teams will be sorted into groups and play a short double Round-robin tournament group stage. The winner of each group will advance to the Final round, which will consist of two legs. The winner will also advance to the season final at the end of the Torneo Finalización, with its winner being promoted to the Categoría Primera A.
