Besides the schedules for the European Cups in Rotterdam and Brno, the CEB also announced the schedules for the European Cup Qualifiers, which will be played from June 14th to June 19th in Antwerp (Belgium), Brest (Belarus), Karlovac (Croatia) and Solingen (Germany). One change was made regarding the participating teams. Sweden isn’t going to use its second spot, which now goes to the Russian representative North Stars. They will play in Brest.
The format is going to be the same as in the last couple of years. After a preliminary round the top two teams will play a best-of-three final series with the first-round result being game one. The winners of each Qualifier will qualify for a European Cup playoff tournament in September, where they are going to face the last-ranked clubs from the European Cups in the Netherlands and Czech Republic.
