Knockout bracket
Round-of-32 seeds shown at half-opacity are where the standings currently project a team — they go solid once a team has secured its place. We don't predict who wins: every later round stays TBD and fills in from real results as the knockout is played.

Points go to whoever drafted the team. Knockout points are for advancing (winner decided by penalties if needed). The third-place playoff is worth nothing. A team that wins its group and goes all the way is worth exactly 51.
