  • For each game won, three points will be obtained.
  • For each tied game, one point will be obtained.
  • For each game lost, no points will be granted.

At the end of the tournament's qualification phase, the clubs are ordered based on their respective points obtained, which is later presented in a descending order. If at the end of the tournament's 17 matches, two or more clubs are tied on points, their position in the genera table is determined based on the following tie-breaker criteria:
  1. Best difference between goals scored and received
  2. Highest number of goals scored
  3. Particular scorers between the tied clubs
  4. Highest number of goals scored as a visitor
  5. Best placed in the general quotient table

Final phase

Prior to the quarterfinal round, a new qualifying round, called "Play-In", allows clubs that are positioned 7th and 10th in the general table a chance to participate. The teams that are in 7th and 8th position will play against each other to determine a qualifier for playoffs. Meanwhile, the losing team of that series will play against the winner of the match between the 9th and 10th positioned teams, in order to determine the 8th participating team for quarterfinals.
The eight clubs qualified for quarterfinals will be repositioned, according to the place they occupied at the end of match-day 17's general table. Position number one will go to the best classified club, and so on up to number eight. The matches from this phase unfold during reciprocal visits, in the following stages:
The winning clubs in both the quarterfinal and semifinal matches will be the clubs that will mark the greatest number of goals in those two matches. If there is a tie in the number of scored goals, the club with the highest position in the qualifying general table will advance to the next round.

If at the end of the matches' regulatory time both teams are tied, then two extra times of 15 minutes each will be added.
