Each team played a home and an away match with result points awarded for each leg (3 points for 3–0 or 3–1 wins, 2 points for 3–2 win, 1 point for 2–3 loss). After two legs, the team with the most result points advanced to the next round. In case the teams were tied after two legs, a Golden Set was played immediately at the completion of the second leg. The Golden Set winner is the team that first obtains 15 points, provided that the points difference between the two teams is at least 2 points (thus, the Golden Set is similar to a tiebreak set in a normal match).http://www.cev.lu/Competition-Area/Competition.aspx?ID=884&PID=-1 2016 CEV Volleyball Challenge Cup - Women - Format CEV 21 March 2017http://www.cev.lu/Competition-Area/CompetitionNews.aspx?ID=884&NewsID=20451&TagType=0&TagContent=0&NewsType=0&Paging=3&Sd=1/1/1900&Ed=1/1/1900 DOL sets the tone for another exciting Cup season CEV 5 June 2015 21 March 2017 Round composition 2nd Round: 30 teams 16th Final: 2nd Round winners (16 teams) + 16 teams from CEV Cup 8th Final onwards: winners Participating teams A total of 46 teams participated, 30 were allocated direct places and 16 joined from the Women's CEV Cup entering at the 'Main phase'.
