PLAYOFF FORMULA
Twelve teams will take part in the new formula of the playoffs. The teams are divided into 4 groups. The top four of the regular season will host the mini tournaments between the three teams of the group. The semi-finals will put face to face the winner of Group A and D, and the winners of Group B and C.
Here are the groups:
Group A: 1 – 8 – 12
Group B: 2 – 7 – 11
Group C: 3 – 6 – 10
Group D: 4 – 5 – 9
The semi-finals will be played on the best of three games, while the final will be played in one single game, the V-Day Sustenium.
Padova has been relegated into the A2, together with Ravenna, while Verona and San Giustino managed to stay up and therefore qualified for the playoffs.
