Competition System
- 24 teams (domestic champions plus title holder) playing knock-out rounds on a home and away basis. The aggregate score of both games decides the winner.
- The eight teams qualified for 1/4 Finals are divided into two groups of four. Every team plays against the other three in its group in consecutive home-and-away matches, so that every two of these games count as a single win or defeat (point difference being a decisive factor here). In case of a tie between two or more teams after this group stage, the following criteria is used to decide the final standing: 1) one-to-one games between the teams; 2) basket average; 3) individual wins and defeats.
- The group winners and runners-up of the 1/4 Final round qualify for 1/2 Finals. The final is played at a predetermined venue.
