Ranking of third-placed teams

To search for the two best teams, a mechanism that respects the principle of equality is used. Because Group 1 contains only five teams while Groups 2 and 3 filled with six teams, the results achieved by the third-placed teams in final standings of Group 2 and 3 against bottom-placed teams in their group didn't count.

The second round will be held on 2–7 December 2016. All groups will play half season round-robin tournament.
