The 2016–17 Women's CEV Cup was the 45th edition of the European CEV Cup volleyball club tournament, the former "Top Teams Cup".
Format
The tournament was played on a knockout format, with 36 teams participating. Initially 22 teams were allocated vacancies to enter the competition, with 8 of them directly qualified to the 16th Finals on the basis of the latest CEV European Ranking List.[1] 14 teams came from the CEV Women's Champions League qualification entering the competition at different stages (as per 'Round composition' below).
On 30 June 2016, a drawing of lots in Varna, Bulgaria, determined the team's pairing for each match. Each team plays a home and an away match with result points awarded for each leg (3 points for 3–0 or 3–1 wins, 2 points for 3–2 win, 1 point for 2–3 loss). After two legs, the team with the most result points advances to the next round. In case the teams are tied after two legs, a Golden Set is played immediately at the completion of the second leg. The Golden Set winner is the team that first obtains 15 points, provided that the points difference between the two teams is at least 2 points (thus, the Golden Set is similar to a tiebreak set in a normal match).[2]
- Round composition
- 32nd Final: 14 teams + 2 teams from Champions League
- 16th Final: 8 teams + 32nd Final winners (8 teams) + 8 teams from Champions League
- 8th Final: 16th Final winners (12 teams) + 4 teams from Champions League
- 4th Final onwards: winners
