In the quarterfinals the first seed and lower ranked qualifier, the second and higher ranked qualifier, the third seed and sixth seed and the fourth seed and fifth seed played. In the semifinals, the highest remaining seed plays the lowest remaining seed while the two other teams play with the winners advancing to the championship game.
