Top 8 from the qualifying round face off in the '1st' round in this order:
6th v 7th
5th v 8th
2nd v 3rd
1st v 4th
To access the gold medal race, you must be a top 4 qualifier AND win your '1st' round race. If you don't satisfy both criteria, you must be in the top 2 of the other 6 teams (in terms of time) to access the bronze medal race (or you're sent to the final ranking races for positions 5 to 8).

I think you still earn points that count towards the Olympic qualification rankings in those positions, though of course the best performers will earn more points.
