Är det någon kan reglerna för slutspelet?
Är det bästa rankade lag mot sämst rankade lag innan turneringen startade?
Av de lag som går vidare förstås.
Det blir en seedning där de åtta högst rankade lagen lottas mot något av de lag som rankas 9-16. I den länkade artikeln finns en lista på hur rankingen ser ut just nu. Skellefteå AIK högst rankat, sedan är det Frölunda på tionde plats av de svenska lagen:

The 11 group winners will be ranked 1-11, based on the same criteria as outlined in the "wild-cards" section. The top five second-place teams will then be ranked 12-16. From these rankings, a playoff bracket will be created, which will be used to determine eighth-final, quarter-final, semi-final and final match-ups.
Teams ranked 1-8 will be put into Pot A and teams ranked 9-16 into Pot B. The teams will then be drawn into bracket positions, where one team from each pot will face each other in the eighth-final round. A pre-condition is that teams from the same group will not be able to face each in the eighth-final round. Teams from the same country may face each other.
The seedings of the final 16 teams will be known immediately following Game Day 6, at which point the draw to determine the bracket will be explained in greater detail.
