Changes from 2010

A new format was introduced. In contrast to the previous season, the final round is made up of eight teams in one group. In 2010 eight teams were divided into two groups of four with the top two finishers advancing to yet another group stage. The winner of the group of 8 will be the champion.[2] [3]

Preliminary round

In the preliminary round 12 teams in three groups played a double round robin. The group winners advanced to the next round.
