*** Am�rica were the champions of MG Qualifying Tournament ***

Am�rica, Valeriodoce and Uberl�ndia were qualified to the Center-South Tournament,
but Uberl�ndia withdrew the tournament as their opening match was postponed while
the team was on the road to the match proper. Uberaba did not accept to replace them,
so Villa Nova were invited.
