  • The match-ups were as follows: Championship: Semifinal round winners Third-place series: Semifinal round losers

Pool standing procedure

  • First, teams are ranked by the number of matches won.
  • If the number of matches won is tied, the tied teams are then ranked by match points, wherein: Match won 3–0 or 3–1: 3 match points for the winner, 0 match points for the loser. Match won 3–2: 2 match points for the winner, 1 match point for the loser.
  • In case of any further ties, the following criteria shall be used: Set ratio: the number of sets won divided by number of sets lost. Point ratio: number of points scored divided by number of points allowed. Head-to-head standings: any remaining tied teams are ranked based on the results of head-to-head matches involving the teams in question.
