System

The championship would have four stages:[3][2]

  • Division A: Comprised fourteen teams. Grêmio, Internacional and Juventude earned a bye directly to the Second phase. The remaining eleven teams played each other in a single round-robin system. The six best teams qualified to the Second phase, while the bottom two teams would have to dispute the Copa Abílio dos Reis in the Second semester. São Luiz, Inter de Santa Maria, Brasil de Pelotas and Glória, due to their performance in the 1997 Copa Galego, were automatically qualified regardless of placing.
  • Division B: The twelve teams that had qualified to Division B in the previous year joined the two teams that had been promoted from the Second level, and were divided into two groups of seven, in which each team played the teams of its own group in a double round-robin system. the best two teams in each group, plus the best third-placed team qualified to the Second phase, while the bottom-placed team in each group was relegated to the Second level. The teams that finished from the second to sixth place could participate in the Copa Abílio dos Reis.
  • Second phase: The sixteen remaining teams were divided into four groups of four, in which each team played the teams of its own group in a double round-robin system. The two best teams in each group qualified to the Quarterfinals.
  • Final rounds: The remaining eight teams played a series of two-legged knockout ties to define the champions.
