Competition format
All teams played two times against each other for completing 20 games per team.
The six first qualified teams joined the group for places 1 to 6 while the other five teams will play the group for places 7 to 11. These two groups will be played with a one-legged round-robin format, where all teams from group 1 to 6 and the two first qualified teams from the group for the seventh position will be qualified for the playoffs. In this intermediate stage, teams start with the points accumulated by the winnings achieved in the first stage.
The quarterfinals and the semifinals were played as a best-of-five series while the final in a best-of-seven series.
