Format

In the play-offs phase taking place between 26 May and 2 June, the 32 winners will again be put into groups of four, where all players will play each other over one night, but each match is now a best of 11 legs match, but all other rules being the same. The eight winners in the second phase will then move into a semi-final group stage taking place on 3 & 4 June, with the top two in each group moving forward to the Championship Group stage, where the winner will become the champion. Each match will be a best of 11 legs match, with the winner of each match getting two points on the table. Should there be a tie on points after all the matches, the leg difference will determine the winner, should that also be equal, the result between the two players is taken into account. Should there be a three-way tie for first place, the overall average of the players will then be taken into account.
