Format edit

The competition is a single elimination knockout tournament featuring two-legged ties. In the first two rounds, if the away team wins the first match by 2 or more goals, it progresses straight to the next round avoiding the second leg. The away goals rule is also used in the Copa do Brasil. The winner qualifies for the 2011 Copa Libertadores, which prevents a team from winning the Copa do Brasil twice in a row.

Team information edit

Qualified by state championships and other competitions edit

54 spots in the tournament are allocated to all the 27 State federations to indicate either one, two or three clubs, depending on their status in CBF State ranking.[1] Criteria may vary, but usually state federations indicate clubs with best records in the state championships or other special competitions organized by such institutions.
