(The group rankings are first sorted according to their respective wins. If two teams have the same number of wins, the group ranking will be determined based on the winning-loss relationship between the two teams; if three teams have the same number of wins, the group ranking will be determined based on the average point difference between the three teams (the games won due to opponents abandoning the game will be deducted to calculate the average point difference). If the average points difference is the same, the three teams will be ranked from high to low according to the total score of the game. If the total points are the same, the ranking will be determined by drawing lots).
