Format

Since 2017,the quarterfinals and semifinals are played in a double-legged format, while the Final is played in one game on a neutral venue.The top six teams, from NBL, have an automatic bye to quarterfinals, while the other three and five teams from A Group League (second tier) play preliminary rounds for a place in the quarterfinals. From 2009 to 2017 the Final Eight format has been used and from 2010 only teams from the first tier participate in it. The eight teams play a play-off at one venue, over four days, eventually producing a winner.
