    Regular season will start on October 26, 2016 and will finish on February 22, 2017.

    The four top teams of each group will qualify to the quarterfinals.

    If teams are level on record at the end of the Regular Season, tiebreakers are applied in the following order:

    1. Head-to-head record.
    2. Head-to-head point differential.
    3. Point differential during the Regular Season.
    4. Points scored during the regular season.
    5. Sum of quotients of points scored and points allowed in each Regular Season game.

    Quarter-finals

    In the quarter-finals, teams playing against each other had to win two games to win the series. Thus, if one team win two games, before all three games have been played, the game that remain is omitted.
