The first round, or group stage, was a competition between the 11 teams divided among two groups of four and one group of three, where each group engaged in a round-robin tournament within itself. The two highest ranked teams in each group and the best two third-placed of the groups advanced to the knockout stage for the position one to eight. The other teams played for the positions nine to eleven. The Teams were awarded three points for a win and one for a draw. When comparing teams in a group over-all result came before head-to-head.
In the knockout stage there were three rounds (quarter-finals, semi-finals, and the final). The winners plays for the higher positions, the losers for the lower positions. For any match in the knockout stage, a draw after 60 minutes of regulation time was followed by two 10 minute periods of extra time to determine a winner. If the teams were still tied, a penalty shoot-out was held to determine a winner.Classification
