In the playoffs, the players are seeded into tables of 4 based on their previous round performance. Progressing into the knockout brackets, previous scores aren't taken into account otherwise. Each table plays 2 hanchan together, and the two best players advance to the upper playoff group, while the bottom two fall to the lower group. This is repeated for the quarterfinals and semifinals. After the semifinals, players are ranked from 5 to 31 based on their semifinal round results. Placements are shared; for example, the two players ranked 21st are those who placed 3rd in the 17-24 group of the semifinal round. Those who placed 1st or 2nd in the uppermost semifinal group will play two final hanchan to decide their exact placement and the championship.
