2011–12 CONCACAF Champions League preliminary round
Open-knowledge reference entry

The 2011–12 CONCACAF Champions League preliminary round was played from July to August 2011. The first legs were played July 26–28, 2011, and the second legs were played August 2–4, 2011.
The draw for the preliminary round and the group stage was held on May 18, 2011, at the CONCACAF headquarters in New York City. Teams from the same association (excluding "wildcard" teams which replace a team from another association) may not be drawn with each other.
A total of 16 teams competed, divided into eight ties. 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. The winners of each tie advanced to the group stage to join the eight automatic qualifiers.

Why this record matters
The phrase “open-knowledge reference entry” supplies a clear boundary for inquiry. It also exposes the unanswered questions: who defined that boundary, when it became stable and which sources sit outside it.
The citation trail is more important than the brevity of the summary: it shows where individual claims can be examined in context. The source revision retrieved here is dated Dec 14, 2025. The linked authority identifier is Q4623455. None of the 0 selected statements returned an explicit reference. The first chronological checks are 2011.
The absence of detail may reflect summary conventions rather than a lack of surviving documentation. The source lead contains qualifying language; that uncertainty should survive quotation, summary and reuse. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
