Competition System

19 teams (domestic champions) enter a Quarter finals group stage, divided into five groups playing a round-robin. The final standing is based on individual wins and defeats. In case of a tie between two or more teams after this group stage, the following criteria is used to decide the final classification: 1) number of wins in one-to-one games between the teams; 2) basket average between the teams; 3) general basket average within the group
The 5 group winners of the Quarter finals group stage, together with a title holder, advance to Semi finals group stage, played as a single group under the same round-robin rules.
The group winner and the runner-up of the Semifinal Group Stage qualify for the final, played at a predetermined venue.
