Format

[edit]

The ten teams are divided into two groups of five, from there each team plays one game against all other teams from the same group, with each team playing four games.

The top two teams from each group will then advance to the single-elimination knockout stage. The first round is a crossover semifinals, where the first-seed from each group is matched with the second-seed from the opposing group. The winning teams advance to the finals while the losing teams compete in a third place game.
