The twenty-two members contesting the Fourth Tournament are divided into four groups, two of six members, two of five members. The highest ranking four members of the tournaments were seeded in Stage One, so it is impossible for them to face each other so early in the competition. The members in each group faced each other on five different games with three points awarded for a victory and none for a defeat. The top three members from each league qualified for the Second Stage. Group 1A produced a number of shocks, with First Tournament winner, José Chança finishing bottom of the group and David Magueijo (finalist in the Third Tournament) also eliminated at this early stage. Vitor's failure to qualify was the biggest upset to occur outside of Group 1A.

The twelve qualifying members were then split into three groups of four. All the members in a group then played each other on four 4-player games with four points awarded to the winner, two for the person in second, one for finishing in third and nothing for finishing last. Alberto Campos had the easiest path to Stage Three, with his nearest competition coming from new member Ricardo Feria. Group 2B saw Filipe Semião and Orlando Silva go head-to-head for the automatic qualification spot. Group 2C was the closest with Tiago Pedro and Fátima Campos needing the deciding game to determine who would qualify for Stage Three. Fátima Campos, Orlando Silva and Ricardo Faria entered the Dragon - The Bruce Lee Story play-off, which Orlando won.

Having made it to the Stage Three for the first time, Tiago Pedro was beaten by Orlando Silva. Alberto Campos is no stranger to the semi-finals, having previously qualified at the Third Tournament, but once again he was unable to progress further, being knocked-out by Filipe Semião. The final was played over a best of five games on Super Street Fighter 2. Filipe Semião became the winner of the Fourth Tournament beating his opponent, Orlando Silva by three game to nil.
