PRELIMINARY ROUND STANDINGS


The top four teams (Cuba, United States, South Korea and Japan) advanced to the semifinals. To determine the seed ranking of teams tied in the standings, the result of the two teams' game against each other was used. Cuba therefore received first place due to the win over USA. In the semi-finals, Cuba (#1) played Japan (#4) and United States (#2) played South Korea (#3). The higher ranked team in each game was the home team.
