AThe quarterfinals were played with a round-robin system, in which every Two Game series (TGS) constituted as one game for the record.
Akademik qualified for the next stage of the competition as the winner od this match-up, but the Bulgarian club later withdrew alleging that most of their international players has been summoned to play a series of Communist Block tournaments (the real reason was to prepare the Pre-Olympic Tournament though). Later, FIBA fined Akademik for this intentional withdrawal and invited Levi's Flamingo's Haarlem to take their place in the Quarter FINAL GROUP stage.
