League A: the top two in each group reach the quarter-finals. The thirds and fourths are ranked across the four groups: the best two thirds stay up, the other two thirds and the best two fourths go into play-offs with League B’s runners-up, and the worst two fourths are relegated.

The rest of the league phase played out 10,000 times with FixtureShark’s model (IP1, built on Elo ratings). Ties split by goal difference and goals scored, not head-to-head.
