Qualifying round

The top three teams in the standings of each group of the preliminary round advanced to the qualifying round, and were placed in two groups: teams from Groups A and D went to Group F, while teams from Groups B and C went to Group E.

Each team played three games in this round, one against each of the three teams from the other group paired with theirs. These three games, along with the two games already played against the other two advancing teams from the same group in the preliminary round, counted in the qualifying round standings.

The top four teams in both groups E and F advanced to the playoff round.
