    • (1a) A team that beats in both sets all the other teams with which it is tied will finish ahead.
    • (1b) A team that has lost in both sets to all of the other teams with which it is tied in both sets is placed behind.
    • (1c) If teams are tied in set percentage and (1a) and (1b) do not apply, the team with the better point percentage will finish ahead of the other teams.
