Group stage

[edit]

All teams competed in the group stage. Each team was placed in one of eight groups, which contained either three or four teams. Each of the top eight seeds was placed in a different group, with the number one seed placed in Group 8 and the number eight seed placed in Group 1. Every team played all the other teams in their group for forty-minute matches, and this process determined the seeding for the elimination stage, which were sixty-minute matches.

Here are the results of the group stage. Each of the eight top-seeded teams won their group.
