Only one match will be played in the round of 16 and quarter-final pairs, while the semi-final and final series will be played up to three wins by one team.
Last season, the winner of the Eurocup was the Spanish team “Gran Canaria”, which chose not to play in the Euroleague due to financial reasons.
