Following the pool stage, the five winners from each group progress to the quarter-finals, along with the three best pool runners-up from the competition. In the event of a tie between two or more teams from the same pool, the following criteria were used as tie-breakers: The club with the greater number of competition points from only matches involving tied teams. If equal, the club with the best aggregate points difference from those matches. If equal, the club that scored the most tries in those matches. If this did not separate teams, and/or the tie related to teams that did not play each other (i.e., in different pools), the following tie breakers were used: If equal, the club with the best aggregate points difference from the pool stage. The club that scored the most tries in the pool stage. If equal, the club with the fewest players suspended in the pool stage. If equal, the drawing of lots will determine a club's ranking. Fixtures for the competition were announced on 14 August 2015, with the exception of Pool 1, due to a delay in agreeing a suitable 'home' stadium for Enisey-STM, who normally play in Krasnoyarsk, Siberia, where temperatures during tournament time can reach −20 °C.http://www.epcrugby.com/europeanrugbychallengecup/news/31068.php#.Vc45F_liay0 European Professional Club Rugby (EPCR) epcrugby.com 14 September 2017http://www.weather-and-climate.com/average-monthly-Rainfall-Temperature-Sunshine,Krasnoyarsk,Russia Climate and average monthly weather in Krasnoyarsk (Krasnoyarsk Krai), Russia It was later agreed by the four teams in the pool that Enisey-STM would host only its Round 1 game in Krasnoyarsk, with the club's remaining two "home" matches to be held in the considerably warmer city of Sochi.
