Championship

Second-place playoffs

The regulation also stipulated that the runners-up of the championship would also receive a trophy. Since São Cristóvão and Botafogo tied in points for that position, they had to dispute a playoff.

Relegation playoffs

The last-placed team, Mangueira, would dispute a playoff against Americano, champions of the Second Level. Mangueira won the playoff.
