  1. ^ Botafogo and Metropol ended tied in points in the first two matches.Since goal difference was not counted as a tiebreaking criterion, a playoff match was necessary.according to the rules, the play-off match should be disputed in the same venue in which the return match was disputed.The play-off was scheduled to be played in December 11, 1968.However, the play-off match was scheduled to be disputed at night, and Metropol's stadium, Parque Euvaldo Loudi, had inadequate lighting conditions.Metropol refused to play in other city, and with the lack of space in both teams' schedule for a daytime match in Criciúma, the match was delayed for months, until Metropol agreed in playing in Florianópolis.The play-off was then scheduled to March 12, 1969.Metropol withdrew from the match, claiming that many of its players were unavailable.Botafogo then won by Walkover, but the result was annulled once Metropol scheduled another play-off match in April 2, in Rio de Janeiro.That match was interrupted at the 58th minute due to bad weather, when the match was tied by 1-1.Another playoff was scheduled to the April 4, and Metropol, protesting about the lack of enough time between the matches, withdrew.Botafogo was then proclaimed winner by walkover and advanced to the semifinals.
