1998 Mexico won the group with 1.8 points per game. 3rd place
required 1.4 points per game. Last place ? 0.6 PPG

2002 Costa Rica first with 2.3 points per game. 3rd place needed 1.7
PPG. Honduras missed out with 1.4. Last place 0.5 PPG

2006 USA and Mexico both on 2.2 PPG, Costa Rica 3rd on 1.6, TandT in playoff on 1.3

2010 USA 2.0 PPG, Mexico 1.9, Honduras qualified with 1.6, Costa Rica playoffs 1.6


2014 USA 2.2, Costa Rica 1.8, Honduras 1.5, Mexico (playoffs) 1.1


2018 Mexico 2.1, Costa Rica 1.6, Panama 1.3, Honduras 1.3 (playoff)


So overall, the average PPG for third place has been 1.52 points per game.

With 8 teams in 2021-2022, one could argue that it might end up being a
bit higher (because extra teams are weaker), but maybe not. So far it
looks like more than 1.7 will be needed - that was the previous record.
