League system

Teams received two points for a win and one point for a draw. On the First Stage, every team played two games against each other team, one at home and one away, and the first 8 teams qualified for the Octagonal Stage. From this stage, the team with most points would be the champion of the season, however the stage was cancelled after 8 matches due to claims from the teams eliminated in the First Stage. Then, a Second Stage was played, with two groups of six teams each. The champion of each group played a playoff, and the champion of it played a Champion Playoff against the champion of the First Stage.
