[edit] Format

• The teams will be divided into four groups (Groups A-D) for the preliminary round.
• Round robin for the preliminary round; the top two teams from each group advance to the quarterfinals.
• Group A's and C's topnotchers are grouped with Group B's and D's runners-up (Group I) while Group A's and C's runners-up are grouped with Group B's and D's topnotchers (Group II) for a round-robin play.
• All of the bottom two of Groups A-D are grouped together also in Groups III and Groups IV, but these teams are not able to "qualify" for the semifinal knock-out round.
• The topnotcher of Group I meets the runner-up of Group II while the topnotcher of Group II meets the runner-up of Group I in the sudden-death semifinals.
• The winners in the semifinals dispute the championship while the losers dispute the third-place trophy, all sudden-death games.
