The clubs of Divizia A only started in the round of the last 32 teams. From the round of 16 onwards, all games - apart from the final, which traditionally took place in Bucharest - were played on a neutral pitch. Only one game was played at a time. If this was a draw after 90 minutes, an extension of 30 minutes followed. If there was still no decision after that, the away team went one round in the round of 16, from the round of 16 onwards the decision was brought about on penalties .
