Group-stage round-robin action continues with five matches Thursday and concludes with three matches Friday. Once the final standings in each group are tabulated, the top team from each group earns a spot in the upper-bracket playoffs. The second- and third-place teams from each group are placed in the lower bracket while the fourth- and fifth-place teams are done.
