• At the conclusion of pool play, all teams will be seeded into bracket play on the second day.

• Tie breaking procedures within pools are in the following order:

• If head-to-head competition does not break ties, then set record will be used and then finally point differential between teams within the pool will be used to determine seeding. 

• If point differential does not break the tie, a coin flip will be administered. 

• Bracket play will be a single elimination format.
