The competition formula of the 2017 Men's World Grand Champions Cup was a single Round-Robin system. Each team plays against each of the five remaining teams. Points were accumulated during the whole tournament, and the final standing was determined by the total points gained.

1. Number of matches won
2. Match points
3. Sets ratio
4. Points ratio
5. If the tie continues as per the point ratio between two teams, the priority will be given to the team which won the last match between them. When the tie in points ratio is between three or more teams, a new classification of these teams in the terms of points 1, 2 and 3 will be made taking into consideration only the matches in which they were opposed to each other.

Match won 3–0 or 3–1: 3 match points for the winner, 0 match points for the loser
