Knockout Round Seeding

Seeding for the knockout stage will be based on several criteria in this order: group position, number of games won, point difference, total points scored, and DUPR rating.

Once the seeds are determined, the draw will be organized to ensure fair balance. The top half of the bracket will include seeds 1, 3, 5, and 7, while the bottom half will include seeds 2, 4, 6, and 8. This ensures no single half of the draw is overly stacked. Additionally, the top two seeds in each half will only face off at the semi-final stage.

If two teams from the same pool are drawn to meet again in the knockout round, a manual adjustment will be made by swapping adjacent seeds to avoid repeat matchups.
