Pool standing procedure

Advancement out of pool play is decided by the following:

• Total number of victories (matches won, matches lost)

In the event of a tie, the following first tiebreaker will apply:

• The teams will be ranked by the most points gained per match as follows:
  • Match won 3–0 or 3–1: 3 points for the winner, 0 points for the loser
  • Match won 3–2: 2 points for the winner, 1 point for the loser
  • Match forfeited: 3 points for the winner, 0 points (0–25, 0–25, 0–25) for the loser
• If teams are still tied after examining the number of victories and points gained, then the FIVB will examine the results in order to break the tie in the following order:

1. Sets quotient: if two or more teams are tied on the number of points gained, they will be ranked by the quotient resulting from the division of the number of all sets won by the number of all sets lost.
2. Points quotient: if the tie persists based on the sets quotient, the teams will be ranked by the quotient resulting from the division of all points scored by the total of points lost during all sets.
3. If the tie persists based on the points quotient, the tie will be broken based on the team that won the match of the Round Robin Phase between the tied teams. When the tie in points quotient is between three or more teams, these teams ranked taking into consideration only the matches involving the teams in question.
