The 9th-place team hosts the 10th-place team in the elimination round requiring two wins to advance, with the loser being eliminated from the competition. The loser in the double-chance round hostes the elimination-round game-winner, with the winner clinching the 8th seed and the loser being eliminated. The higher seeded teams have homecourt advantage.
