  • First phase: The remaining eighteen teams, now joined by Grêmio and Internacional, would play each other once. The four best teams would qualify to the Second round. The winner would also qualify for the Final phase.
  • Second phase: The remaining four teams would play each other twice. the best team in each round qualified to the Final phase.
