Format

First round: The 12 participating teams were drawn into two groups of 6 for round robin. The top 3 teams from each pool advance to the super round while the bottom 3 teams play in the consolation round.

Consolation round: The bottom 3 teams from each pool play each of the other bottom 3 teams from the other pool (e.g. the 4th-place team from group A plays the 4th-, 5th-, and 6th-place teams from pool B). The results of the previous round robin carry over for teams originally in the same pool (ex. The 4th-place team from Group A beats both the 5th- and 6th-place teams from Group A in pool play and starts the consolation round with a 2-0 record.). Teams don't advance to play any more games after the consolation round.

Super round: The top 3 teams from each pool play each of the other top 3 teams from the other pool (e.g. the 1st-place team from Group A plays the 1st-, 2nd-, and 3rd-place teams from group B). The results of the previous round robin carry over for teams originally in the same pool (ex. If the 1st-place team from group A beats both the 2nd- and 3rd-place teams from group A in pool play and starts the super round with a 2-0 record. The 3rd- and 4th-place finishers advance to the bronze-medal game, and the 1st and 2nd-place finishers advance to the gold-medal game.

Medal round: The medal round consists of the Bronze Medal Game, contested by the 3rd and 4th-place finishers from the super round, and the gold-medal game, contested by the 1st and 2nd-place finishers.
