System

The tournament was divided in four stages:[2][1]

  • Preliminary tournament: All the teams of the championship outside of the big four were divided into two regionalized groups of five teams: one with the teams from Rio de Janeiro plus Itaperuna, and the other with the other hinterland teams; each team played against the teams of its own group in a double round-robin format, and the best four teams would qualify to the main tournament, while the bottom team in each group would be relegated. Each team also received a number of pre-season bonus points and post-season bonus points.
  • Taça Guanabara: The 12 clubs all played in single round-robin format against each other, with the two bottom teams being eliminated from the championship.
  • Taça Rio: The ten remaining clubs all played in single round-robin format against each other.
  • Finals: The Finals would happen in two matches, both played at the Maracanã Stadium, between the champions of the Taças Guanabara and Rio.
