table

The best 4 players qualify for the final round. A win gives two points, a draw one point. If the number of points is equal, the number of frames won is decisive. If the number of frames won is the same, the direct duel decides. If the direct duel ended in a draw (3: 3), the player who was the first to win 3 frames in the direct duel receives the higher rank in the table.
