Syro's team secured the fifth position and grab the chance to participate in European championships for the next year. Except Olympiakos, Pamvochaikos and Syros, the teams of PAOK Thessalonikis and Ethnikos Alexandroupolis had won European tickets.
At the bottom of the standings Milonas and Panathinaikos will participate in the second division championship for the next year. We have to mention that Panathinaikos is trying to stay in the Volleyleague although he had lost in the play-out. At the begining Athens team in cooperation with ESAP had tried to extend the play-out section, now Panathinaikos is trying to influence the athletic court decision for Iraklis. The truth is that Iraklis participation in Volleyleague has nothing to do with Panathinaikos participation. Next month ASEAD (a Greek athletic court) will decide if Iraklis Thessalonikis will continue to participate in Volleyleague Championship for the next year.
