Format
The first phase of the tournament was a group stage in which the twelve invited teams were divided into three groups of four teams. Each group was a round-robin of six games, where each team played one match against each of the other teams in the same group. The group stage was followed by a single "finals day" in which six games involving all twelve teams were played to determine the tournament's final standings, with the matchups being determined as follows:[2]
1st place match: Winners of Groups A and B.
3rd place match: Winner of Group C and best runner-up from Groups A and B.
5th place match: Runner-up in Group C and second-best runner-up from Groups A and B.
