Bracket 2/3: Teams draw for who they play on the first day (D vs E & F vs G), then the winner of Bracket 2 will play the loser of Bracket 3 and loser of Bracket 2 will play winner of Bracket 3.
Top 2 records advance to the round robin final against the Bracket 1 winner. In the case of tied records, we will have a shootout.
