Seeding criteria

Teams were seeded first by overall record, then by a tiebreaker system. #Head-to-head result (applicable only to ties between two teams, not to multiple-team ties) #Quarter point system (1 point for win, .5 for tie, 0 for loss, 0 for overtime periods) #Point differential #Coin flip The head-to-head result was extremely unlikely to apply in determining seeding, since the teams played only three games before being seeded. It is impossible for two teams to both be 3-0 or 0-3 and have played one another. It is also very unlikely that exactly two teams and no others finish either 2-1 or 1-2 and for those two teams to have played one another. Even in the situation where there is a multiple-team tie and some but not all the teams have superior or inferior quarter points, the remaining teams look first to the point differential even if only two teams remain. Unlike tiebreak criteria often found in sports leagues, multiple-team ties that are reduced to two teams by progression through the tiebreaker steps are not returned to the first step of the two-team tiebreaker. First-round losers played consolation games to determine 17th through 24th places. These teams either keep their own seeding or inherited that of their first-round opponent, if lower. For example, if the #9 seed lost in the first round to the #24 seed, it became the new #24 seed. Based on this, each odd-numbered reseeded team was matched against the next lower reseeded opponent with #17 playing #18, #19 playing #20, #21 playing #22 and #23 playing #24. Second-round losers played consolation games to determine ninth through 16th places. These teams took 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. For example, if the #23 seed won its first-round game against the #10 seed, it was treated as the #10 seed in the second round. If the original #23 seed/inherited #10 seed then defeated the #7 seed in the second round, the #7 seed was treated as the #10 seed in the consolation round. Based on this, each odd-numbered reseeded team was matched against the next lower reseeded opponent with #9 playing #10, #11 playing #12, #13 playing #14, and #15 playing #16.
