Standings

Carioca, it's great you are starting these pages, but you should be aware that RSSSF placings are not official until proven. Of course they claim that but has anyone goot some proof ? I understand that only some document from cbf site could do the job or some document posted in the net with clear reference for its officiality. Please note that theoretically the CBF criteria for qualifying teams do not necessarily mean that these criteria should be applied for the standings. For instance, teams on 3rd place do not necessarily need to be separated on season record. Is CBF clear about this ? In any place in the world both teams would be placed 3rd altogether regardless of their previous results ( just see the world cup standings). So RSSF standings may be only an interpretation. regards 200.199.23.121 15:47, 5 September 2006 (UTC) For, instance, in the case of 1971, it's odd to determine the placing of 4th through 12th base on their previous seasons results. By normal standards, all 2nd place in the groups should be ranked 4th, all 3rd place 7th and all 4th place be ranked 10th. Or why should Botafogo be placed 3rd if Corinthians and other teams had more points on overall season, even with less games ?200.199.23.121 15:53, 5 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]
