Zenit
Zenit St. Petersburg, Kemerovo, Noviy Urengoy, Ufa and Zenit Kazan have scored their first wins in three semifinal Pools.
Lokomotiv Novosibirsk were free because Pool C has only three teams.
Just to remind you, Belgorod Belogorie will host the “Final Four” of the Men’s Volleyball Cup 2017 on December 2 and 3 and only winners from three Pools will join the hosts.
The prize fund of the “Final Four” of the Russian Cup will be 12 million rubles.

That’s a terrible tournament format. Basically lots of good teams are not going to be able to make it through the next round.
