# 2011 Copa FGF

2011 Copa FGF also known as Copa Dra Laci Ughini 2011, was the 8th edition of Copa FGF. 22 teams participated in the tournament.
The winner qualified for 2011 Recopa Sul-Brasileira and 2012 Campeonato Brasileiro Série D. Moreover, if the 2012 Campeonato Gaúcho winner and runner-up were Grêmio and Internacional (GRE–NAL), the runner-up of the cup would have been allocated one of the three spots of the state to 2013 Copa do Brasil, otherwise the champion, runner-up and the third place of the league would have been qualified for the cup. If a berth for 2013 Copa do Brasil was vacant because one of the top three of 2012 Campeonato Gaúcho qualified for 2013 Copa Libertadores, the runner-up would have also qualified.

## Format

The clubs were divided into three groups according to their locations (Metropolitan, Border and Mountain), and played a double round-robin in each group. The best five teams in each group and the best 6th-placed team of group 1 advanced to the knockout stage. The application to the competition was opened on 20 June and 22 teams applied.
