About the seeds: The seeding committee determines the top 48 teams and divides them into eight groups of six teams of approximately equal strength, from top to bottom. The top six seeds are determined by consensus. Within the rest of the groups, seeds are assigned randomly.

The remaining teams are divided into four groups of approximately equal strength and then within each of these groups, seeds are assigned randomly.
