Background:

São Paulo were winners in 2006 and 2007 (by 9 points in 2007). Other teams are listed in the options in the finishing order for the 2007 season.

Scoring as normal for soccer is 3 points for a win, 1 for a draw. Each team plays the others twice, making a season of 38 games. Finishing positions are more volatile than in the UK. http://cbfnews.uol.com.br/seriea is a good source of information (CLASSIFICAÇÃO is the league table, and TABELA is the fixture list)

Settlement details: As reported by http://cbfnews.uol.com.br/seriea
Question is set to suspend before the penultimate game of the season
