• 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.
