Format
Since 2009, except from 2017-2019, 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.From 2017-2019,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.
