Format
Teams were split into one group of four teams and three teams of three teams each, and played each other in a round-robin format. The top two teams from each group advanced to the final stage, a best-of-three direct playoff elimination where the champion was decided. Unlike the previous tournaments where teams played home and away matches in the group phase, every group played all their matches in the same city.
