Teams that finished in 1st and 2nd place did not participate in the 1st round.
In the semi-final phase the 1st team faced the couple's winner 4th-5th and the 2nd team faced the couple's winner 3rd-6th. To qualify for the next round one team of each pair had to achieve 3 wins.

All the rounds measured the wins the teams had achieved in the first phase of the league. The series of matches of each pair began at the team seat which finished higher at the end of the first phase of the league and continued alternately in the seats of the two teams until the completion of the phase. The defeated teams of the first round of the play offs were placed in positions 5–6 of the final rankings maintaining the rankings they had at the end of the first phase of the league.
Score system
Each win was scored by 2 points and every loss by 1 point.
Classification criteria Phase I
The teams were ranked based on the total number of points they won. In case of a tie in the total number of points won by two or more teams the ranking criteria were:
Higher ranked the team with the greatest difference between the victors and the lost sets.
If the teams had the same difference, the group was ranked higher with the largest fraction resulting from the division of the total winning sets with the total lost sets.
If the tie continued, account was taken of the results of the meetings (in order: points, sets, points).
If the tie continued, higher ranked the team with the largest fraction resulting from dividing the total earned points with the total missed points.
If the tie continued, a race was held on a neutral field designated by the Cyprus Football Federation.
