The La Copa Junior tournament is a CMLL event featuring second (at least) generation wrestlers, though worked relations have been accepted. It's typically held near the beginning of Arena Mexico season.
The Copa Junior tournament has been held (at least) twice in CMLL's history.
The first (known) occurence was in 1996. The 15 particpants in the first tournament were Apolo Dantes, Dr. Wagner Jr., El Hijo del Gladiador, El Hijo del Santo, Emilio Charles Jr., Espectro Jr., Hector Garza, Karloff Lagarde Jr., La Fiera, Mano Negra, Rambo, Rayo de Jalisco Jr., Scorpio Jr., Silver King and Shocker. (It's possible there may be one more name included.)
The tournament was held over two Arena Mexico shows. The first, on 02/23, contained 7 opening round matchups. The second show, on 03/01, featured an 8 man tournament to decide the winner.

There's no word why Silver King did not have a first round match.
In 2005, the event was revived (though presented as a new concept) with the idea of making it a yearly event. This time, it was a (for the time) standard 16 man tournament over three weeks: two 8 man tournament, followed by the bracket winners meeting the third week.
