Placement Games: The teams continue to play opponents with similar results to determine the finish (place) in the tournament. Qualifiers for the top sections of the bracket having already been determined (Pool winners in the top 4 spots, runners-up 4-8, etc.) by the previous games, that portion is relatively straight-forward. The 6 teams at the bottom play 3 more games to determine places 9-14 which can involve overall records, head-to-head matches, total points, etc. .
