Structure of the final rounds
The final stage is structured so that losing a match does not immediately end a team's tournament. After each match, the team continues to another placement match. After three matches, every team in a complete final group of eight has reached its own final position.
Final rounds with 50 teams
The final rounds for 50 teams consist of 6 complete groups of eight teams and a remaining group of 2 teams. Each complete group determines eight individual final positions. The format for the last group is adapted to the number of teams remaining.
The final two teams play directly against each other for positions 49 and 50. This means their definitive final ranking is also decided on the field.
