TIE-BREAKING

Since all teams advance to playoffs, ties will not be decided by playing a set.

1.      If two (2) teams from the same pool are tied, their head to head match determines the order of finish.

2.      If three (3) teams from the same pool are tied after match and set % and point differential have been calculated, a coin flip will determine their order of finish.
