System
The championship would have four stages: * First stage: The 18 teams were divided into three groups of six teams each. They played against each other inside their groups in a double round-robin system. After 10 rounds, the top two teams of each group, plus the two best third-placed teams qualified to the Semifinals. * Copa Emílio Perondi: The ten eliminated teams were divided into 2 groups of five teams each. They played against each other inside their groups in a double round-robin system. After 10 rounds, the group winners would qualify into the Finals, with the winner qualifying to the Série C of that year, and the bottom team in each group being relegated. * Semifinals: The eight remaining teams were divided in 2 groups of 4 teams each and they played in a double round-robin system. The winner of each group qualified to the Finals. * Finals: Semifinals group winners played in two matches to define the Champions. The team with best overall record played the second leg at home.Championship
