Third and Fifth Place games directly after Group Stage

[picketyp]

Has anyone here ever tried to/successfully setup a 6-team competition like this?

• 2 groups of 3 teams
• Winners of each group advance directly to Final
• Second place teams play a third place game
• Third place teams play a fifth place game

I can get the Final to happen no problem, but figuring out how to assign other group places to different knockout round has been tough.  I have setup third place games after a semifinal knockout, using the convenient Index of Next Round options, but a separate Group Stage has no similar function.

Any tips are appreciated!

Figured it out!

I had been trying to qualify the teams to different rounds in the same stage, but I was instead successful when qualifying them to separate stages instead using the Group Stage's Qualification Rules.  Also discovering that Top and Bottom position should both be the same in the Qualification Rules since both group winners are position 0 unlocked the final key.

Mods can lock this, but if anyone needs help building something similar in the future, I'd be happy to help.
