It was the last season they used the group system with the final matches, they would use the common ranking system with the club with the most points winning the title the following season. Not until the 2003 season they would use the group system with 4 matches and with playoffs though the semis would be added.

It marked the final appearance of GD Palmeira of Santa Maria at the national championship competition, their next national appearance for that club was the 2012 Cape Verdean Cup.
