## System

The championship would have four stages.:
* Preliminary phase: The ten clubs that had participated in the Final decagonal of last year's championship (minus Grêmio and Internacional) would join the sixteen teams qualified in the Copa Governador do Estado of the previous year and another six teams qualified from the Copa Cícero Soares. the resulting thirty teams would be divided into six groups of five teams. Each team would play against the teams of their own group twice and the three best teams of each group would qualify to the First stage.
* 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.
* Finals: The winners of the first stage and the two rounds of the second stage qualified to this stage. Each participant would have one point allotted to them by stage won, and the teams would play each other until one reached four points, with that team winning the title. If the same team won all three stages, it would win the title automatically.
