In February 1913, AFRJ and LMSA reconciled, with the former being absorbed into the latter. Originally, the championship would have 13 clubs: all the LMSA teams that had disputed the previous year's championship, and the five best teams in AFRJ's championship. However, in March, the clubs voted for reducing the championship to ten teams, and Cattete, Paulistano, and Germânia found themselves relegated to the Second Level; As a protest, Germânia retired from the league altogether.[1]
