Originally a final tournament with 8 teams was planned, with as participants:

• W Connection ( Trinidad and Tobago, PFL sub-champion)
• Violette AC ( Haiti - replace champions  Guadeloupe)

This was to be held October 28 – November 5, 2000.

However, in preparation of a 'dramatically enhanced' CONCACAF club competition, the set-up was changed completely; 4 groups with 14 teams in all were formed; the winners of which to progress to the final championship round. Of the above 8 teams, 3, viz. Chelsea, Notre Dame, and Defence Force, were suddenly not invited - on whatever criteria.
