Relegation
The criterion for relegation to the Série B in 1999 was the average of points obtained in 1999 and 1998. The four teams with the smallest averages would be relegated. The CBF-defined formula for the point average (PA) was:
PA = ( (P98/23) + (P99/21) ) / 2
P98 being the number of points in 1998 and P99 the number of points in 1999.
As to Gama and Botafogo-SP, that had ascended from the Série B and as such, didn't dispute the 1998 Série A, the formula was reduced to:
PA = P99/21
Originally, the six worst point averages were:
- Gama: 1,238
- Internacional: 1,219
- Botafogo: 1,178
- Paraná: 1,093
- Juventude: 1,089
- Botafogo-SP: 1,000
Which would mean that Botafogo, Paraná, Juventude and Botafogo-SP would be relegated. However, the matches of São Paulo against Internacional and Botafogo were annulled and the points gained by São Paulo in both matches (three against Botafogo, one against Internacional) were given to both clubs, due to the fielding of the ineligible player Sandro Hiroshi in both matches. So, the six worst point averages became:
- Internacional: 1,267
- Botafogo: 1,249
- Gama: 1,238
- Paraná: 1,093
- Juventude: 1,089
- Botafogo-SP: 1,000
This meant that Botafogo escaped relegation and Gama joined Botafogo-SP, Juventude and Paraná in the Série B in 2000.
Gama did not accept this decision and appealed. The judicial disputes lasted months and CBF was stopped from organizing the 2000 Campeonato Brasileiro. The Clube dos 13 assumed the organization of the championship as Copa João Havelange, with the participation of 116 teams divided into 3 groups.
