Domo de la Feria in León and Inforum Irapuato in Irapuato were the venues of the competition.[6]
A maximum of 12 national teams could qualify for the tournament based on their respective continental ranking plus the points earned during their participation in the 2023 Pan-American Cup, as follows: the host nation, the top 7 teams in the NORCECA Continental Ranking as of 1 January 2024 and the top 4 teams in the CSV Continental Ranking that confirmed their participation.[7]
The following were the teams eligible to participate in the tournament (teams that confirmed their participation marked in bold and confederation ranking, if given, shown in brackets):[8] NORCECA (North, Central America and Caribbean Volleyball Confederation)
CSV (South American Volleyball Confederation)
Each national team had to register a squad with a minimum of 12 and a maximum of 14 players.[7]
In the Pan-American Cups the competition format depends on the number of participating teams. With 12 teams, two groups of six teams each were formed. The pool standing procedure was as follows:[7]
The winner of each group advanced directly to the semi-finals, while the runners-up and the third placed teams advanced to the quarter-finals.
Teams were distributed into two groups of six teams. As hosts, Mexico had the right to choose the group in which to be placed and were assigned to the head of its group (Group A). The remaining teams were distributed into the groups according to their position in the NORCECA and CSV Continental Rankings (as of 1 January 2024) and taking into account the points earned in the 2023 Pan-American Cup, following the serpentine system and starting with the highest-ranked NORCECA team as head of the remaining group (Group A)[7]
Mexico also had the right to chose their first match in the preliminary round and propose the times and order of all matches.
Group A took place at Domo de la Feria in León, while Group B took place at Inforum Irapuato in Irapuato.[9] All match times are local times, CST (UTC−6), as listed by NORCECA.[1]
