Encyclopedia

.
The championship round draw was conducted on November 1, 2010, at the CONCACAF
headquarters in New York City
. In the quarterfinals, the group winners were assured of playing the second leg at home, and were drawn against the group runners-up, with the only restriction being that they could not face the same team that it played in the Group Stage (and thus they may face a team from the same association).
The championship round was played in knockout format
. Each tie was played over two legs, and the away goals rule
would be used, but not after a tie enters extra time, and so a tie would be decided by penalty shootout if the aggregate score is level after extra time.
