The four best teams go to the second stage, the playoff, using the Page playoff system (two best teams, following the results of the group round, hold a match for a direct bye to the final (playoffs-1). The 3rd and 4th teams played, with the winners going to the semifinals (playoffs-2). The semifinal was between the loser in the first match and a winner in the second. In the finals, gold was to the winner of the 1 vs. 2 playoff game and the winner of the semifinal. Losers in the semifinals and the playoffs-2 game played for bronze medal.
