- match points;
- set quotient ;
- points quotient ;
- results of head-to-head matches between the teams in question.

At each leg, points are awarded to the teams in the same manner as in the Group Round. So, if team A defeat team B in the first leg 3:0 and lose in the second leg 1:3, team A does not advance to the next round, but the two teams are tied with 3 points each, and a Golden Set is played.
