Championship
The championship will be determined by a single elimination tournament, the top 10 teams receive a bye.
Seeding
Teams are seeded first by overall record, then by a tiebreaker system.
First-round losers play consolation games to determine 17th through 22nd places. These teams either keep their own seeding or inherit that of their first-round opponent, if lower. Based on this, teams are matched against their closest-seeded opponent with #17 playing #18, #19 playing #20, and #21 playing #22.
Second-round losers play consolation games to determine ninth through 16th places. These teams take the lower seed number of the two teams involved in their second-round games with the built-in assumption that lower-seeded teams that won their first-round games inherited the higher seed from the opponent they defeated. Based on this, teams are matched against their closest-seeded opponent with #9 playing #10, #11 playing #12, #13 playing #14, and #15 playing #16.
