Methodology
- Qualified — finished 1st or 2nd in their group after all 3 group matches.
- Mathematically eliminated — cannot reach enough points to finish in the top two, even with all remaining matches won.
- Still alive — all other teams with remaining matches or unresolved third-place qualification.
- Third-placed teams are shown as "Still alive" until the full third-place ranking is resolved — see the Best Third-Place Teams table.
- Qualification is only claimed where mathematically certain from the available data. Displays "Not yet determined" where uncertainty remains.
Sources & Methodology
Qualification status is derived from live standings data. "Mathematically eliminated" is only asserted when a team cannot reach the required point total with their remaining matches — no speculative elimination is shown.
