Playoffs
The playoffs will consist of two rounds: Playoff 12 and Playoff 6. These will be played between 14 January and 13 February 2014. Each round is played in two legs.If the teams are tied after two legs, a "Golden Set" is played. The winner is the team that first obtains 15 points, provided that the points difference between the two teams is at least 2 points.
At each leg, points are awarded to the teams in the same manner as in the Group Round. So, if team A defeat team B in the first leg 3:0 and lose in the second leg 1:3, team A does not advance to the next round, but the two teams are tied with 3 points each, and a Golden Set is played.
The three teams that win in Playoff 6 round advance to the Final Four.
