2024/25 Competition System

In the regular part of the season, 16 teams are playing. Each team plays against every other team twice, once at home and once away. After 30 rounds, when all teams play against each other, the best placed 8 teams are qualified to the Playoffs.

The 8-best teams of the Regular Season advance to the Quarter-finals, which will be played in the best of three games format (1-1-1). The better placed teams in the Regular Season will have the home court advantage. The pairs of the Quarter-finals will be the following:
1st – 8th
2nd – 7th
3rd – 6th
4th – 5th

Winners of each pair advance to the semi-finals, which will also be played in the best of three games format (1-1-1), where the better placed team after regular part of the season will have the home court advantage.

Winners of both semi-final pairs will advance to the finals, which will be played in the best of five games format (2-2-1). The finalist, that is the better placed after regular season, will have the home court advantage.

There will be no games for the third place played.

The final standings of the season will be set according to the standings in the Regular Season, with the exception of the winner of the Finals (season champion), that takes the final first place in the standings, regardless of its position in the Regular Season.
