Relegation Playoffs

The regulation stipulated that the last-placed team of the championship should dispute a best-of-four points series against the champions of the Second Level. After one win for each side in the first two matches, XV de Jaú and Jabaquara faced off in neutral ground for the third match of the series. After XV de Jaú scored the match's only goal, Jabaquara's players abandoned the pitch claiming that the goal had been irregular. [3]This sparked a lengthy court battle that delayed the start of the championship of the next year, and ended with Jabaquara's relegation being cancelled.[4]
