Tie-breaking: Since all teams advance to playoffs, ties will not

1. If 2 teams from the same pool are tied, their head to head
match determines their order of finish.
2. If 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.
For the third place teams after Round 1:
3. If 2 teams from different pools are tied after match and game
%
and point differential have been
calculated, a coin flip will determine their order of seeding.
4. If 3 or more teams from different pools are tied after match
and game % and point differential have been
calculated, a coin flip will determine their order of seeding.
