mode
The mode consisted of a knockout system . For the first two rounds, the rule was that if a team wins an away first leg by at least two goals, there is no second leg.
The goal difference counted. In the event of a tie, the away goals rule was applied. If no winner was determined after these were used, this was determined in a penalty shoot-out.

In the first round of the competition, three non-eligible players (Oziel, Ediglê and Niltinho) were used in the game between Atlético Roraima and Nacional FC (AM) by Roraima.

Guarani FC was also disqualified in the first round . This had prevailed after the home and return games against Vila Nova FC . In the first leg at Vila Nova, Guarani used the ineligible player (Leandro Guerreiro).
