Format

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