Break with repool

Tie-breaking:	Since all teams advance to power pools, ties will not be decided by playing a set.
1.   If 2 teams from the same pool are tied, their head to head match point differential determines their order of finish.
2.   If 2 teams are still tied after point differential has been calculated, total point differential will determine order of finish.
3.   If 3 or more 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.

Pool Play format:	2 pools of 4 teams   1 pool of 3 teams
		    
     Pool 1		     Pool 2	            Pool 3
