Note formula used from 1972 to 1990 didn’t warrant best two teams meeting in the final, as far as most of

the best were North or Central American, while Caribbean ones were in a very lowest level. So, 13 finals

were played under this rule: 11 won by North/Central American side, only 2 by Caribbean representatives.
