When designing the PO formula, it was assumed that we would have four European slots.
Recently, however, it turned out that we were allocated no less than FIVE European tickets next season.
As a result, the current PO formula has become obsolete and we agreed on a new formula.
| Qualifier 1 (Q1) | Qualifier 2 (Q2) |
| #1 - #2 - #3 - #4 Double Robin Round Bonuspoints: +6/+4/+2/0 (Ranking RC) |
#5 - #6 - #7 - #8 Double Robin Round Bonuspoints: +6/+4/+2/0 (Ranking RC) |
| Results #1 (Q1) & #2 (Q1) → PO Champion #3 (Q1) & #4 (Q1) → PO Europe |
Results Best ranked team Q2 → European slot 5 |
| PO Champion | PO Europe | Play Down |
| #1 Qualifier 1 - #2 Qualifier 1 Best of 3 (#2-#1 / #1-#2 / #1-#2) |
