The winners of each group moved to the playoff semifinals. The group runners-up headed to the quarterfinals as high seeds, and the third-place teams landed in the quarterfinals as low seeds. The fourth-place teams in each group were eliminated.
The single-elimination playoffs ran Friday through Sunday. All group-stage matches and playoff matches were best-of-three except for the grand final, which was best-of-five.
