The five best placed teams in the last edition played five games as the home team (Nova Venécia, Serra, Real Noroeste, Estrela do Norte and Vitória), the others played only four games as the home team. The final stage was played in a knockout system, facedre the teams face each other in an "cruzamento olímpico" (english: Olympic crossover) with home and away games, until the finals. The teams with the best campaigns in the first stage played as the home team on the second leg of the final stage.^[3]
