MIES (Switzerland) - All eight groups are back in action this week, and it means it's time to take out your calculator, because there are plenty of possibilities and outcomes at the end of the Regular Season.
The group winners from all eight groups will advance to the Round of 16 group stage, while the second- and third-placed teams are set to play the Play-Ins in January. The second-placed teams will have the homecourt advantage in the best-of-three matchups.
Quick reminder to determine the standings in case teams own the same records and have the same number of wins in their head-to-head matchups at the end of Gameday 6 - the tiebreaker will go to the team with:
Higher game points difference of the games between them.
Higher number of game points scored in the games between them.
Higher game points difference of all games in the group.
Higher number of game points scored in all games in the group.
