Format

After the qualifiers, sixteen teams play in the regular season. They are divided into 2 groups of 8, with the top 4 advancing to the quarter-finals. In the quarter-finals, the eight teams left play in four best-of-three play-offs, and whoever wins the series make the final four.

Rankings

The results are based on the results of the past three seasons.[1]

  • Associations 1–4 can have three teams qualify.
  • Associations 5–8 each have two teams qualify.
  • Associations 9–10 each have one team qualify directly into the regular season.
  • Associations below the top 10 can have one team qualify for the qualification round.
