Bracket Phase
After the group stage, all teams were seeded and moved on to the bracket phase. Teams were seeded according to the following criteria:
Rank in pool
Number of losses
Head-to-head result
Average point difference (with a cap of 120, includes snitch catches)
Snitch catch percentage
Coin flip
Since all teams would participate in the bracket phase, Seeds 12–21 started with play-in games, whereas Seeds 1–11 got a bye to the round of 16. During bracket play, each round beginning with the round of 16 generated a consolation bracket. The bracket phase determined the final ranking for Teams 1–16.
