Pools composition

The drawing of lots was combined with a seeding of National Federations and performed as follows:

1. The 4 organizers were seeded in Preliminary pools. Belgium in Pool A, Italy in Pool B, Germany in Pool C and Estonia in Pool D.
2. The finalists from the previous edition were drawn in different Preliminary pools, meaning that Italy could not be paired with Serbia.
3. The organizers could select one team to join their pools, as a result, Slovenia joined Belgium in Pool A, Romania joined Italy in Pool B, Azerbaijan joined Germany in Pool C and Finland joined Estonia in Pool D.
4. According to the CEV National Team ranking list, the 16 remaining teams were seeded by descending order in a number of cups that equals the number of Preliminary pools.

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 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, 3 and 4 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
