The tournament would be disputed in two stages:[2] [1]
Villa Isabel eliminated; Vasco da Gama declared champions
The regulation stipulated that a playoff would be held between Americano, the last-placed team in Série B and Hellênico, the champions of the Second Level. Hellênico won the playoff. Americano would have been relegated, but after the subsequent split between LMDT and AMEA, Americano participated in the 1924 LMDT championship anyway. [1]
