  • The top four teams will advance to the semifinals.
  • Teams ranked fifth through eighth will be eliminated and be ranked accordingly.
Semifinals
  • The semifinals will be composed best-of-three series. The winners advance to the championship series while the losers play in the third-place match.
  • The match-ups will be as follows:
    • SF1: QF1 winner vs. QF4 winner
    • SF2: QF2 winner vs. QF3 winner

edit
  • First, teams are ranked by the number of matches won.
  • If the number of matches won is tied, the tied teams are then ranked by match points, wherein:
    • Match won 3–0 or 3–1: 3 match points for the winner, 0 match points for the loser.
    • Match won 3–2: 2 match points for the winner, 1 match point for the loser.
  • In case of any further ties, the following criteria shall be used:
    • Set ratio: the number of sets won divided by number of sets lost.
    • Point ratio: number of points scored divided by number of points allowed.
    • Head-to-head standings: any remaining tied teams are ranked based on the results of head-to-head matches involving the teams in question.
