Despite the calendar reworked by the pandemic, the Polish Plusliga also comes to an end, and is played over several days the last round of regular season.
However, the delays caused by the recovery matches led the federation to decide to shorten the playoffs: even the championship final and the 3/4 place final will be played with best-of-three formula (instead of best-of-five originally planned).
In advance of the last Round, Jastrzebski’s irrelevant victory (in a reworked formation with 4th outside-hitter Gierzot and the second opposite Bucki as outside-hitters) against Lubin who lost their bomber Jimenez in the first set.
Mohamed Al Hachdadi was the best scorer on the winning side with 23 points, while Adam Lorenc had 12 points in Cuprum Lubin, who have ended the season in 11th place.
