The 8 teams are divided into four home and away groups based on their geographical position. The Swedish and Finnish teams take part in the Northern conference; the clubs from Czech Republic and Switzerland play in the Southern conference. The four winners advance to the semifinals. The two winners play in a final held at a centralised venue.
