Format

Preliminary round

• In the preliminary round, teams were split into two groups of six.
• The preliminary round was a single round-robin tournament, with each team playing one match against all other teams in their group for a total of five matches.
• The top four teams advanced to the quarterfinals while the bottom two were eliminated.

Quarterfinals

• The quarterfinals was also a single round-robin, with each team playing seven matches in this round.
• The top four teams advanced to the semifinals while the bottom four were eliminated.

Semifinals

• The semifinals featured best-of-three series
• The match-ups were as follows:
  • SF1: QF1 vs. QF4
  • SF2: QF2 vs. QF3
• The winners advanced to the championship while the losers would play in the third-place series.

Finals

• The championship and third-place series were best-of-three series.
• The match-ups were as follows:
  • Championship: Semifinal round winners
  • Third-place series: Semifinal round losers
• If the championship ends after two matches, which can only occur if either team wins 2–0, the third-place series will immediately end even if it is tied. Tiebreakers would be used to determine the winner of the third-place series in this scenario.

Pool standing procedure

• First, teams are ranked by the number of matches won.
• If the number of matches won is tied, the tied teams are then ranked by match points, wherein:
  • Match won 3–0 or 3–1: 3 match points for the winner, 0 match points for the loser.
  • Match won 3–2: 2 match points for the winner, 1 match point for the loser.
• In case of any further ties, the following criteria shall be used:
  • Set ratio: the number of sets won divided by number of sets lost.
  • Point ratio: number of points scored divided by number of points allowed.
  • Head-to-head standings: any remaining tied teams are ranked based on the results of head-to-head matches involving the teams in question.
