Teams will be split into three groups. Each team plays against each other in its group. The top two in each group move on. (Tiebrakers are used.) These six teams will play against each other. The top three winners will be congratulated. If there is a tie in the top three, we will not use tiebrakers this time. Instead we'll start a tiebrake round where all the tied teams play three matches at the same time against each other.
