Although the qualifying tournament is also part of 2013 CONCACAF Gold Cup qualifying process, the tournament has not been included by FIFA on the FIFA International Match Calendar meaning that the participating nations' first choice players may not be available to play due to club commitments. FIFA allocated 7–11 September and 12–16 October on the FIFA event calendar.

Participants

edit

At the time of the original draw in March 2012, only Sint Maarten and Turks and Caicos Islands had not agreed to participate. In August 2012, the Bahamas, Cayman Islands and the US Virgin Islands pulled out of the competition. Of the five nations to withdraw, three were represented on the Caribbean Football Union executive committee. A total of 25 teams participated in the qualifying phase.[1]

Although a draw was originally made in March 2012, the Caribbean Football Union partner Digicel made changes to the original draw allowing only nations where Digicel services were available to host group games. At the time of the changes, the CFU's contract with Digicel had expired.

Ranking of second-placed teams

edit

Originally, three positions in the final stage were available to teams who finish in second-place at the group stage. They were to be given to the team that finishes in a higher ranked position between the second-placed teams. The highest ranked second-placed teams between Group 1 and Group 2, Group 3 and Group 4, and Group 5 and Group 6 were to proceed to the final tournament.

However, due to the withdrawals of several nations the qualifying format was revised. Only the runners-up from Group 4 and Group 5 were ranked by the second-placed team format to decide which team progresses to the second round. Runners-up from Groups 1,2 and 3 automatically progressed to the second-round.
