System

The championship was disputed in a double-round robin system, with the team with the most points winning the title.[1][2]

Championship

With the return of AA das Palmeiras to the league, the bottom two teams of the previous year's championship had to dispute a playoff to define who would remain in the league, won by São Paulo Athletic.

In the last match, Internacional, that needed to beat Americano to win the title, tied by 1-1 (which would force them into a three-way tiebreak with AA das Palmeiras and Paulistano), with two goals annulled, and at the match's end, the referee was threatened by the Internacional players.[4][5] Two of Internacional's players were suspended, and after the club's officialdom tried to appeal, the club was expelled from the league for refusing to obey the decision.[6][7]
