Chuteira de Ouro (Placar Magazine)

The Chuteira de Ouro (Golden Boot) is an award offered by Placar magazine since
1999 to the best overall goalscorer of Brazil in each season. Likewise the European
Golden Boot, the goals are weighted according to the competitions, following these
rules:

Taça Libertadores da América - 3 points (*)

Brazilian Championship Série A - 2 points

Matches of Seleção Brasileira - from 3 to 2 points

(**) In 2007, Placar revised again the rules and changed the following weights:
