mode
For the first time since the competition began, the first round of the cup was held as a group stage. Overall, the 16 DEL teams competed against each other in eight groups together with the 13 clubs of the 2nd Bundesliga and three top division clubs . Two DEL clubs were drawn into a group, plus two lower-class teams. Only the group winners reached the quarter-finals, which, like in previous years, were played in the knockout system . The clubs from the DEL only played against the two lower-class teams, so that in the event of a tie, the goal difference had to decide whether to win the group.
