Best runner-up

The best runner-up of the entire group phase qualified automatically for the final tournament. To determine the best runner-up, a comparison was made between all of them. Only matches played against teams that finished first, third and fourth were regarded. Matches played against fifth and sixth placed teams were discarded, because some groups had more teams than others.
After the best runner-up was found, all the others (eight of them) entered a random playoff to determine four more teams to qualify.
