League round

24 teams will be drawn to 6 pools of 4 teams each. The 1st – 2nd ranked will qualify for the Play-off 12 teams. If the organizer of the final four is one of the above qualified teams in this case this team directly qualifies for the final four and the 3rd ranked team with the best score will also qualify for the Play-off 12 teams (replaces the organizer of the Final Four Tournament). The four next 3rd ranked teams with the best score will qualify for the Challenge Round of the CEV CUP. The remaining 3rd ranked teams and the 4th ranked teams are eliminated.
