    Rules for classification: All points scored in extra period(s) were not counted in the standings, nor for any tie-break situation.

    Regulations

    When more than two teams are tied, the ranking is established taking into account the victories obtained in the games played only among them. Should the tie persist among some, but not all, of the teams, the ranking of the teams still tied is determined by again taking into account the victories in the games played only among them, and repeating this same procedure until the tie is entirely resolved. If a tie persists, the ranking is determined by the point difference in favour and against in the games played only among the teams still tied.[52]

    Play-in

    Under the new format, the 7th to 10th-ranked teams will face each other in the play-in showdown. Each game is hosted by the team with the higher regular season record. The format is similar to the first two rounds of the Page–McIntyre system for a four-team playoff, and is identical to that of the NBA play-in tournament. First, the 7th seed hosts the 8th seed, with the winner advancing to the playoffs; likewise the 9th seed hosts the 10th seed, with the loser eliminated. Then the loser of the 7-v-8 game hosts the winner of the 9-v-10 game, with the winner of that game getting the final playoff spot.[2]

The four winning teams advance to the Final Four.[54]
