They won the Campeonato Potiguar on May 1, 2009, thus ensuring a spot in the 2009 Campeonato Brasileiro Série D. However they decided to not participate in the competition.

gollark: Neat.
gollark: Oh, so you're doing software stuff for them and also designing... retail-y hardware a bit?
gollark: Well, I have somewhat working backups, so probably "wipe server, reinstall from USB stick, reload important stuff but probably keep external network access down for a bit".
gollark: I mostly just try and keep software up to date, shove sandboxes on network-facing services, and hope vulnerability-scanning botnets or something don't catch up fast enough.
gollark: Probably high, especially since all of it's written in unsafe C for some reason.
