The player/team who lost to the player/team advancing to the finals will play the first round of playbacks immediately upon the conclusion of the semifinals. The winner of the first round of playbacks will then play the loser of the semifinal match. Ultimately, the playback winners will compete for third and fourth place on Saturday morning at 9 am.
