Format
[edit]- Preliminary round
The eight teams compete in a single round-robin tournament, with each team playing one match against all other teams for a total of seven matches. The top two teams will advance to the semifinals while the bottom six will continue competing in the quarterfinals.
- Quarterfinals
The bottom six teams from the preliminary round compete in another single round-robin tournament, with each team playing a total of five matches. The top two teams will advance to the semifinals while the bottom four will be eliminated and ranked 5th through 8th in the final standings.
- Semifinals
The top two teams from the preliminary round and the top two from the quarterfinals compete in the semifinals. Teams compete in best-of-three series with the winners advancing to the finals while the losers will compete in the third place series. The match-ups for the semifinals are as follows:
- SF1: PR #1 vs. QF #2
- SF2: PR #2 vs. QF #1
- Third place series
The losing teams from the semifinals compete in a best-of-three series to determine which team will finish third in this conference. If the series is tied at 1–1 when the championship is decided, the pool standing procedure will be used (starting from set ratio).
- Finals
The winning teams from the semifinals compete in a best-of-three series to determine the conference champions. The losing team in this round will be declared conference runners-up.
Pool standing procedure
[edit]Teams are initially ranked by wins followed by match points. A win awards three points if the match lasted for three or four sets (3–0 or 3–1), or two points if the match lasted for five sets (3–2). A loss only awards one point if the match lasted for five sets (2–3).
If multiple teams tie for wins and match points, the next criteria are set ratio (the number of sets won divided by number of sets lost across all matches) and point ratio (the number of points won divided by number of points lost across all matches). If any teams are still tied, the procedure will be applied again, but only considering matches between the remaining tied teams.
