Format
[edit]There being seven pools of either three or four teams each, the winners of each pool and the 5 best runners-up qualified for the 2021 European Championship. The pools were played in a double round-robin tournaments format officially from 30 August 2020 to 16 May 2021, according to the CEV web site. Since there was a different number of teams across the seven pools, the results of the matches played with the teams finishing last in the pools of four were discarded in order to determine the five best runners-up across all pools.
Pools composition
[edit]Teams were seeded following the serpentine system according to their CEV European Ranking as of 1 January 2020.[3][4] But, Denmark withdrew after the draw. Rankings are shown in brackets.
