The results reveal that the venues and championships were mostly disputed between Ahumada, Guadalupe and Porvenir; players and their nicknames are identified; coaches, referees, sponsors, and differences in the serialization of some editions and years without information are also identified. It is concluded that this stage lays the foundations and configures the architecture of participants. New lines of research to complement the chronology of the championship are also offered.
