Playoffs

As stipulated in the regulations, in case of two teams or more tying in points, the teams in question would dispute a playoff. since Vasco da Gama, Botafogo and Flamengo ended up tied, the playoffs would be disputed as a single round-robin tournament, popularly known as the "Supercampeonato". However, at the end of the tournament, the three tied in points again, forcing another playoff, known as the "Supersupercampeonato", to be held, which was won by Vasco da Gama.[1]
