Los Gallos Blancos find themselves in the reclassification zone, yet their quotient challenges would prevent them from advancing to the next phase of the tournament.
Queretaro has climbed during the Closure 2023 segment of the MX league. They presently sit in tenth place on the overall table with twenty points, aiming to seal the regular phase inside reclassification positions.
The leadership under Mauro Gerk has experienced a mix of highs and lows since his arrival in 2022, but this last stretch has brought progress for a Querétaro squad known for one of the league’s tighter budgets and a roster without star names. Still, the Gallos Blancos face a potential setback: if they fail to meet the requirements for the rematch entry, they cannot participate in that stage due to issues in the quotient.
That context fuels the coverage here at GOAL as the club navigates its current status:
WHY CAN’T QUERÉTARO PLAY IN THE 2023 CLOSING RECLASSIFICATION?
The league rules establish that if a club finishes last in the Quotient Table but would otherwise contend in the Final Stage of the Clausura 2023 based on its General Ranking, it is barred from participating in that stage.
HOW MUCH DO THE LAST THREE PLACES PAY IN THE PERCENTAGE TABLE?
Queretaro has accumulated 95 points across 101 matches in the quotient, yielding a quotient of 0.9406. This figure would prevent the team from contesting the reclassification phase. Consequently, the league would elevate the standings to thirteenth overall, effectively excluding the White Roosters from the competition.
