This edition was contested by 20 clubs from Primera División (first division). Teams were grouped in three zones, two of 7 teams and the rest of 6. Teams played each other in a single-robin tournament. Winners of each zone qualified to play the second stage (semifinals).[7]
Nueva Chicago, in group C, played v Estudiantes (BA) (1–0), Sportivo Barracas (3–0), Estudiantil Porteño (2–2), All Boys (0–0), Sportivo Buenos Aires (2–1), and Barracas Central (won points after Barracas withdrew).[6] Nueva Chicago finished first in the group with 10 points, directly qualifying to the semifinals although the team did not play.[1]
On the other hand, Banfield, in group B, played vs Argentino de Quilmes (3–1), Argentino de Temperley (02), El Porvenir (1–0), Sportivo Alsina (4–2), and Sp. Dock Sud (3–1). As Banfield and Dock Sud finished equaled on points, a playoff was held to define which team would advance to semifinals. Banfield defeated Dock Sud 3–0.[1]
↑After Club Almagro was evicted from the land that the club rented in Parque Centenario, it got another land in Parque Chas. The field (with a capacity for 20,000) was located on Gándara, Londres, Avda. Benjamín Victorica, and Ginebra streets. The club stayed there until 1937, when they moved to Villa Urquiza.[2][3]
