Esportivo, Farroupilha, Gaúcho, Grêmio Bagé, Lajeadense and Pelotas were relegated.[1][2] Participating teamsIn early 1980, It was decided that the championship would be reduced from 20 teams to 14. To that goal, the Copa Governador do Estado was turned into a qualification tournament for the 1980 First Level, with the presence of all the teams that would have participated under the 20 teams configuration that weren't participating in any national division (except for Riograndense, which had withdrawn and was replaced by São José), with the Seven best teams qualifying to it. However, after that tournament ended, the eight and ninth-placed teams were included in the First level as well, sparking protests from the other four clubs that had participated, who subsequently withdrew from disputing the Second level that year.[1]
