System

The tournament would be divided in four stages:[2][1]

  • Taça Guanabara: The twelve teams all played in a single round-robin format against each other. The champions qualified to the Final phase. The eight best teams qualified to the Second round.
  • Taça Francisco Laport: The remaining eight teams all played in a single round-robin format against each other. The champions qualified to the Final phase.
  • Third round: The eight teams were divided into two groups of four, and each team played in a single round-robin format against the team of the other group. The champions of each group qualified to the Final phase.
  • Final phase: The four qualified teams played in a one-legged knockout tournament against each other - In case that the same team won two of the four positions, it'd qualify directly to the Finals. In case of a tie, the first and second round champions took precedence over the third stage winners.
