System

The tournament would be divided in three 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.
  • Taça Rio: The twelve teams all played in a single round-robin format against each other. The champions qualified to the final phase.
  • Final phase: The champions of the two stages, plus the team with the best overall record would play that phase. in case three different teams qualified, each team played in a single round-robin format against each other and the team with the most points won the title. in case the same team won one of the states and was the team with the best record, they would hold a three-match final series against the other stage winner.
