Notes
On January 5, 2021, the LBM announced the end of the regular season due to the small number of teams that continued to participate. It was determined that the best team of the season would qualify directly to the semifinals, while the teams placed between second and seventh place will have to play a so-called triangular preliminary round. The triangular and semifinal phases will be played as a single game, while the final will be played in two games.[12]
