ADVANCEMENT: Advancement on all Groups shall be as follows: 1. The top ranked pairs in each group and each draw will advance to their final round. A drawing of lots from the second ranked pair will determine a wild card to complete the semifinalists.

If three or more players / pairs have won the same number of matches, ranking will be established by the difference between total games won and total games lost. *** If this still leaves two players / pairs equal, the winner of the match between them will be ranked higher. 5. If three or more players / pairs have won the same number of matches and are equal in the difference between total games won and total games lost, ranking will be established by the difference between total points won and total points lost. 6.
