By convention, the Championship takes place annually during the first two weeks of April, between April 1st and April 16th, however, this has not been the case every time, due to outside factors such as weather, politics, or overlapping with international events. The Championship starts at two rounds of 16, played between April 1st and 8th, including the 32 teams that performed the best during the previous season, which takes place between July and March.
