Relegation

According to the original regulation created by Clube dos 13, the 13th and 14th placed teams would play a relegation play-off, and the 15th and 16th placed teams were directly relegated to the 1988 Second Level. However, the Clube dos 13 and the Confederação Brasileira de Futebol, entered into conciliation for the organizing body of the 1988 Campeonato Brasileiro, again under the full responsibility of the CBF, turning the relegations of Green Module invalid.[2]
