The winner of section one will progress to semi-final one and the winner of section two will progress to semi-final two. The second and third placed teams from each section will be randomly drawn into two post-sectional playoff matches, game A and game B. The winner of game A will progress to semi-final 1, the winner of game B will progress to semi-final 2. The winners of each semi-final will play off in the final for the gold and silver medals.
